MUSIC TO HONOR OUR LORD
St. Mary’s Parish Choir family is always welcoming new members. The choir consists of both amateur and professional singers and is open to all people of high-school age and above. If you are looking for a supportive, nurturing atmosphere while serving God and St. Mary’s, please consider becoming part of our music ministry! The Parish Choir rehearses on Wednesday evenings, September through April, from 5:45 – 7:30 PM. We sing for the 10:30 AM service and other special events throughout the year. Each academic year, we also sing special services such as Advent Lessons and Carols, The Music of Christmas, Evensong, and various major works often accompanied by orchestra.

THE PARISH ORGAN
CASAVANT-FRÈRES ORGAN
The Casavant-Frères Organ, Opus 3805 (2001), was designed by Dr. James H. Cook and given to St. Mary's-on-the-Highlands to the Glory of God and in loving memory of Emily "Patsy" Katherine Stone Fail and Peggy Winn Stone by Mr. James M. Fail, Benefactor. The 55-rank instrument contains two exposed divisions and three enclosed divisions. The organ console contains 3 manual keyboards and a pedal keyboard. Opus 3805 has a total pipe count of 3,111.
St. Mary's music ministry benefits from more than a century of artistry by one of the leading builders of fine pipe organs in North America. The firm Casavant-Frères of St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, has built over 3900 instruments since completing their first organ in 1880 under the direction of Joseph Casavant. Organs by Casavant-Frères are associated with high quality workmanship and integrity.
Peace be with you.
