Handbell Choir

Our Handbell Choir rings at Mass along with the choristers and other instrumentalists according to a published schedule (usually every 4-5 weeks).  We also ring on Christmas Day, Holy Thursday and Easter Sunday.  We also try to participate in one festival-type event every other year (Spring or Summer).

Handbells are a unique set of instruments in which each player is responsible for 2 to 4 notes on the grand staff. Because of this, attendance at weekly rehearsals is a must. It is, of course, understood that things come up and it is impossible to be 100%.   However, all ringers are asked to make a full season commitment to participate in this ministry.  Regular attendance at scheduled rehearsals as well as Masses/events must be a priority.  

That being said, our aim is to make beautiful music and have lots of fun too!
