Recruiting for Filipino Choir: San Pedro Calungsod Choir

Recruiting for Filipino Choir: San Pedro Calungsod Choir

We are currently gauging interest in starting a Filipino/Tagalog choir at St. Anthony’s. If there is sufficient interest, we will start a group. You will be notified by e-mail.

While we are starting out, this choir will sing one afternoon liturgy a month, depending on interest. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will still be offered in English by our parish priests; however, the music will have a definite Filipino twist. This choir will combine with our other choirs for large parish celebrations (Christmas Eve’s Midnight Mass, Easter Vigil, etc.) and will become an active part of our parish’s developing, but vibrant music ministry.

This choir will be for those that are in the 9th grade +. Unfortunately, we can not accept children younger than 9th grade at this time. All members will have to meet volunteer guidelines as established by the Diocese of Las Vegas.

If you have any questions, please contact our parish’s Director of Music, Bill Freeman at sapmusicministry@gmail.com or by calling the parish office during normal business hours.

St. Anthony of Padua is located on the corner of Ft. Apache and Centennial in northwest Las Vegas at 6350 North Ft. Apache Road.

 

Children’s Choir Sign-up

Children’s Choir Sign-up

Interested in having your child learn more about his or her faith in a practical way? Interested in having your child participate in a free musical program that fosters teamwork and service to others? Our parish’s Children’s Choir might be exactly what you’re looking for. This program is open to all children that will be in 2nd grade and over during the 2018-2019 Academic Year. This program is led by our parish’s very own Director of Music, Bill Freeman, who is a licensed K-12 music teacher AND elementary teacher currently teaching at Mojave High School (previously at Gragson Elementary).

Practices are held on Saturdays (you will receive a schedule). The children will sing at one Mass a month, after we get started, at either the Saturday 4 PM, Sunday 2 PM, or Sunday 4 PM Mass. The children will also sing at the annual Christmas Pageant (Date TBA), the 4 PM Christmas Eve Mass, and a concert with the other choirs in the spring.

Sign-up below the video of the children singing at Mass last Christmas.

Mass of Sending with Bishop Thomas

Bishop Thomas invites you to the annual Mass of Sending Forth for our seminarians as they prepare to return to the seminary for the Fall semester. The Mass will take place at Guardian Angel Cathedral, 302 Cathedral Way, Las Vegas, NV 89109, at 6:00 PM on Thursday, August 16, 2018. A reception will follow in Anderson Hall. We hope to see you there to welcome and pray for our new and existing seminarians as they continue their journey toward priesthood.

Our very own Director of Music, Bill Freeman, will be the organist for this Mass.
