Choral Services during the Week of September 20

This will be the first week of the new choral season with multiple weekday 5:30pm choral evensong services featuring the full Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys. Below you’ll find an outline of the repertoire that the choir will offer. You can also view our choral services from now through December of the 2015-2016 season, which is dedicated to the loving memory of John Gavin Scott.

Important Note

Due to the large crowds expected for the arrival of Pope Francis and associated street closures on Thursday, September 24, the 5:30pm Choral Evensong has been cancelled.
