CHOIR AUDITIONS

August 16, 2025

Ascension of Our Lord Parish is holding auditions for its 2025-2026 choral season, running from September 2025 to June 2026.

We are an energetic, skilled, welcoming choir singing repertoire ranging from the 10th century to the 21st. The choir’s principal function is to support and enrich the Sunday Mass. The choir also engages in activities such as concerts, recordings, fundraisers, vocal workshops and potlucks!

While previous choral experience within the liturgical tradition is beneficial it is not a requirement.

Volunteer Positions: are open to everyone. Volunteers are expected to commit to Thursday evening rehearsals (19h30- 21h30) and Sunday morning Mass (9h30-11h30).

Paid Positions: candidates must be enrolled at McGill University, commit to Thursday evening rehearsals, Sunday morning Mass, and other special liturgies throughout the year.. The Bas Section Lead is currently available, remunerated at $25/hour, approximately four hours per week.

I wish to thank all who participated in the celebration in honour of the 40th anniversary of my ordination to the Holy Priesthood on May 25th.

I was very touched and I appreciate this kind gesture.

I express my gratitude to the Board of Wardens and their collaborators for organizing the event, and all who contributed to the luncheon and the many who were so gracious and generous in contributing to the monetary gift presented to me on that day.

May the Lord reward your kindness to me.

Father Lawrence Mac Eachen
