The Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation in Carey invites area singers to join the 2023 Assumption Choir. This choir, along with a brass quintet, will lead the music for the Vigil Mass of the Assumption, held in the Shrine Park, on Monday, August 14, 2023 at 9:30 p.m. This unique experience gives singers, amateur and professional, the opportunity to sing a wide variety of music with a short-term commitment. Rehearsals will be held from 4:00–5:30 p.m. in the Original Shrine Church (next to the Gift Shop) on Sundays: July 30, August 6, and August 13. Please direct any questions to the basilica’s Director of Music Ministries, Mr. Anthony Gallina, at music@olcshrine.com or 419-396-7107, ext. 104.
