Members of the parish choir are dedicated parishioners who minister to the Saint Ambrose community by supporting and enhancing the singing assembly. The choir sings at the 10:00 Mass each Sunday (except during July and August) and for special feasts and events throughout the year. Choir practice is held from 8:00 to 9:30 on Wednesday evenings (September through Mid-June). Choir membership is open to musicians of varying levels of ability and experience. To participate one needs only be able to match the pitch ("carry a tune") and make a commitment.
