The Traditional Adult Choir sings at Masses in the church on various weekends throughout the year.  Their repertoire includes a variety of music from Latin to contemporary.  The Traditional Choir has traveled extensively throughout the world on pilgrimages. They present a program of Christmas music prior to Midnight Mass as well as providing music for all Holy Week services, Masses for Holy Days of Obligation and other special parish Masses.  While reading music is an asset, it is not necessary.  Rehearsals are held Wednesday evenings at 6:30 PM in the Parish Life Center, with the exception of June and July.

The Contemporary Adult Choir sings at the 10:30 AM Mass in the Chotin Center.  This group consists of several trained and in some cases, degreed vocalists accompanied by guitar, piano and percussion. This group's style of music is Praise and Worship.  If you are interested in joining this group, please contact group leader Sharon Smode at [email protected].  Due to the small size of this group, all interested musicians must be willing to interview and audition whether interested in vocals or an instrument.

The OLL Children's Choir is open to all children in grades 3 through 7.  This group rehearses in the Parish Life Center on Wednesdays, from  2:30 PM until 3:30 PM. All children from our parish, regardless of school affiliation, are welcome.

A Schola of adult, semi-professional singers has recently been started at OLL.  This is a group that is tailored for the more proficient music reader and which concentrates on more difficult music.

Our Lady of the Lake church also has a 3-octave set of Malmark Handbells.  While our handbell choir has been inactive, we are exploring the possibility of starting this group again.  This is a group that requires both the novice and the somewhat proficient music reader.  A group leader is being sought for this group.  If you think you are that person, please contact Sharon Smode.

Our Lady of the Lake Parish has a Cantor Ministry with trained, certified cantors who are familiar with the Catholic liturgy and their role within the liturgy.  If you are interested in becoming a cantor, please contact Sharon Smode to schedule an interview and audition.

If you are an organist or pianist interested in accompaniment duties in the music ministry, please contact Sharon Smode at the Parish Life Center.  Accompanist positions require audition and references.
