The handbell choir plays primarily for Sunday liturgies, but also shares its music occasionally for penance services, concerts, and community events. Music readers age ten and above are welcome and we do provide opportunities for people to practice and train into the group as their skills develop. The group plays a variety of handbell literature ranging from level 2+ to 4, as well as accompaniment parts for sung prayer. The choir practices on Monday evenings from 7:15 to 8:45 PM, plus an hour before service opportunities. The group rotates through the various Mass times, averaging about three Masses per month. The bell choir is under the direction of parish Director of Music Ministry, Mary Weber Bane, Assistant Bell Choir Director Pat Dillon, and Music Ministry Intern Colleen Kochensparger.
