BRENDAN’S PARISH/SCHOOL CHILDREN’S CHOIR
Open to all Parish and School students in grades 3-8
Sings one Sunday a month (schedule on next page)
Rehearsals on Wednesdays beginning August 19th, in the Church from 2:30 p.m.- 3:15 p.m.
Dear Parents,
It is wonderful to have the privilege to work with these children. Thank you for you support in making sure your child follows through on his/her commitment to the Choir ministry at St. Brendan’s Church.
Students will meet in the church ready to rehearse on Wednesday’s at 2:30 p.m.
(Students who come directly from their class at St. Brendan School may do homework from 2 p.m.-2:30 if they would like.)
Rehearsal will end at 3:15 p.m. Mrs. Elizabeth Jennings will walk the students to the AIA parking lot for pickup. If you need to make a different arrangement, please let her know by texting at 407-461-7510.
If your child needs to go to after-care following the rehearsal, please indicate that as well.
A word about Wednesday rehearsals and Scheduled masses:
Generally there are at least three or four rehearsals before each Sunday Mass date. This allows the choir to be as prepared as possible. It is very important that your child attend the rehearsals. The choir is much like a sports team that relies on all its members to work together.
In the event of a hurricane, St. Brendan Church and School follow the Volusia County Schools closings: so if it happens to be a Wednesday, and Volusia County Schools are closed due to an impending hurricane, then St. Brendan’s church and school closes its door as well, and there would be no Wed. rehearsal that day.
Masses that are scheduled for the Children’s Choir are very difficult to change. Therefore it is important that the student make it a priority to sing on those designated dates.
Always check this Calendar schedule first, but if there is any doubt as to whether or not there is a rehearsal, please text Mrs. Elizabeth Jennings at 407-461-7510 or email at ejennings@stbrendanchurchormond.org
Students will wear nice church clothes to sing mass, except for the first mass: Sept. 13 when the St. Brendan School students will be asked to wear their uniforms that they wear on School Mass days . Please communicate whether or not your child will be singing a scheduled mass so there are no surprises.
Having the schedule early should be helpful to avoid any conflicts. If your child also serves as an altar server, please give these dates to Mr. Harry Bence, the Altar Server ministry coordinator, to avoid scheduling your child to serve on dates they are scheduled to sing.
Please make sure Mrs. Jennings has a good contact number for you and email address. This way, in the event of a personal emergency that would require cancelling a rehearsal, she can reach you in a timely manner to notify you.
Please see the second page for full schedule. Keep it somewhere safe, or scan it into your phone.
