Join St. Anselm Church Choir

Alleluia! The new season of St. Anselm’s Parish Choir is beginning!

If you love to sing – even if only in the shower – come and share your voice with the choir as they raise their voices to “sing a new song to the Lord” (Psalm 98).

We welcome all, young and old, new members and former members who would like to get back into the “sing” of things! And we welcome all voice types – soprano, alto, tenor, bass – even countertenors!

A special welcome to youth of high school age. Singing in the parish choir may be your opportunity for community service hours.

We meet every Thursday evening in the church, from 7 – 8:30 p.m., and sing usually
twice a month, at 10 a.m. Sunday Mass. For information, contact the Music
Director, Michael Mello, at (415)454-5098. “Come, ring out your joy to the Lord!”
(Psalm 95)
