Music Ministers

Joyful Sounds Chorale   (also open to young-adults)

This is the most old and traditional choir of St. Stephen. The choir started in the early 1970s and was called "The Community Choir", build with the purpose to support the liturgy at St. Stephen church. Developed during the past decades, thanks to the ongoing commitment of the members,  the choir sing every Sunday at 8:30am in addition to many solemnities during the entire year.

Filipino-American Choir

To sing is to pray twice! The Filipino-American Choir is an organized company of choristers who provide bi-lingual liturgical music during the year, and other community events both inside and outside St. Stephens. The Filipino-American Choir strives to share time and talent as musical messengers of the Gospel for the glory of God. Simbang Gabi is the culmination of the Choir’s annual commitment. Simbang Gabi is a beloved Filipino tradition in exultation of the motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Joining the Filipino American Choir is a great way to make music, make friends, and made a difference  - all in God’s name.
