Calvary Choir
The Calvary Choir leads parishioners in the weekly worship of God through music and Anglican liturgy. Calvary Choir provides music for special feast days beyond the Sunday morning schedule such as Advent Lessons and Carols, Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday and the Great Vigil of Easter, Easter morning and concluding with Pentecost Sunday.
United with the choirmaster under the mission of leading the congregation with beautiful music, The Calvary Choir is a very warm, friendly and welcoming community. Regularly meeting for social gatherings away from rehearsals, celebrating birthdays and supporting each other during times of unusual stress are some of the ways bonds of friendship are strengthened, blending these individuals into a community.
Comprised of volunteer singers and 5 professional section leaders, Calvary Choir rehearses weekly for two hours on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 and 45 minutes on Sunday mornings at 9:15. Occasionally, additional rehearsals are scheduled during the church year to prepare for the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter.

Children's Choir
The Calvary Children’s Choir (open to singers through eighth grade) receive weekly vocal training, learn to read music and music theory, gain a better understanding of our liturgy, and discover the joy of being leaders in worship. They sing occasionally at the 10:00 a.m. Eucharist.
Rehearsals are Sundays at 2:15 pm. No affiliation with Calvary is necessary to join, and membership from throughout the community is encouraged.
St. Dunstan’s Handbell Choir
The St. Dunstan’s Handbell Choir is a dedicated group of ringers playing on 3 octaves of Malmark Handbells and Handchimes. Open to all ages from late teens upward, basic music reading skills are essential. The choir participates in worship approximately once each month and also in Mass Ringing opportunities when available. St. Dunstan’s is a great way for ‘non-singers’ to participate in the music program of Calvary and to further develop basic musicianship. Rehearsals are Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m.
