If you’re interested in being a part of the Music Ministry at St. Francis Xavier in 2019-20, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Director of Music Ministries:  John Uehlein ([email protected] or 646-573-0099

The Sunday 5PM Schola Choir:  This Schola/Choir sings at the Sunday 5PM mass along with our instrumental Xavier Players under the direction of John Uehlein and Jackie Perez.  The singers rehearse on Sunday afternoons at 3:45 along with the instrumentalists.  This is the newest singing group at St. Francis Xavier. Commitment, the ability to read music and the ability to carry a tune and to hold a harmony part is required. 
 
The Xavier Players at The Sunday 5PM Instrumental Ministry:   Do you play an instrument?  Would you like to be a part of the Music Ministry at St. Francis Xavier? We are looking for competent (intermediate to advanced) instrumentalists now.  Woodwinds, strings, brass and percussion are exciting additions to the musical prayer we present at our liturgies.  We are especially seeking a percussionist.  The Sunday 5 liturgy is our instrumental mass and we rehearse at 3:45PM before the liturgy.  Space is limited.
 
The SFX Adult Choir:  It’s time to join up!  Service is our password and having fun while preparing liturgy is our way.  Faith is our fuel.  The St. Francis Xavier Choir is looking for new members now.  A pleasant voice, the ability to sing in harmony, and showing up regularly are the only requirements.  Reading music is a plus, but not a necessity.  Rehearsals are Thurs. night from 7-9 and we sing at the 11:30 service on Sundays as well as high holidays throughout the year.
 
The Family Faith Choir:   This choir under the Direction of Jacqueline C. Perez, Assistant Director of Music is an inter-generational choir with members, both children and adults.  All voice types are welcome: children, teens, sopranos, altos, tenors and basses. The Family Faith choir sings at the 9AM mass meeting for rehearsal on Sunday mornings at 8AM for breakfast and singing,  For more information or to schedule an audition please contact the Assistant Director of Music: Jacqueline C. Perez: [email protected] .
 
 
The Bell Choir:  The bell choir has room for ten ringers and we are presently at capacity.  We invite you to enjoy their music making throughout the year.
