Practices are held Monday evenings from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM in the Chapel. For information, contact Esther Nam, enam@stroseoflimachurch.org.
The Arcadian Chorale
While the Arcadian Chorale is not a resident musical group at St. Rose, this group, under the leadership of Marina Alexander, will be offering their annual Freehold Holiday Concert in December.
The Contemporary Music Group
The Contemporary Music Group performs songs of praise with influences from folk, gospel, pop and rock music. Using guitars, keyboards, drums and vocal harmonies, the group sings at Mass on the third Sunday of the month (except during the summer). They also sing at Healing Masses, on Pentecost, Living Stations of the Cross, Prayer Services, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and more.
If you like to sing modern songs of praise or play an instrument, you might consider joining the group. Group members range from teens to retired people. Call Glenn Ahern 848-333-9211 for further information.
