Christ the King Choir
The Christ the King Choir, known affectionately as Ala Prexque ("Wing and a Prayer"), started as the St. Martha Latin Choir in 1995. When the original director moved out of the area in December, 1997, the pastor, Very Rev. Fausto Stampiglia, S.A.C., asked Leo Labrecque to take over. It is the choir's vocation and privilege to work to restore the Church's treasury of sacred music. Their repertoire consists of Gregorian and polyphonic Masses as well as motets and traditional hymns.
St. Philomena Choir
The St. Philomena Children's Choir was founded in 2009 with the goal of singing at Mass once a month. In a short time, the girls surpassed that original goal and were invited to sing for the Mass at the diocesan Women's Conference in 2012 and 2013. In June, 2013, they cut a CD of some of their favorites.
