Parish Choir
In addition to singing the responses to the liturgical services of the community, our choir participates in the Pan-Orthodox Choir of the Greater Bridgeport area. We are especially blessed in that two of the three coordinating directors of this latter are our own directors - Laura Chadwick and Karen Masek.
