Meet our new Choir Director - Sean Donnelly!

Sean has been attending the Extraordinary Form Mass since before he could speak, and has been singing in Gregorian chant and polyphonic ensembles for over 20 years. He sang in Chorus Faustinae at Holy Family in Vancouver (an FSSP parish) for 12 years, and was a founding member Cantores Joannis Baptistae, a group dedicated to singing the 5 part Offertory motets of Palestrina. Sean moved to southern California to attend Thomas Aquinas College, and has remained in the Ventura County area since his graduation. Over the years, Sean has directed several ensembles, both at the College and in the surrounding community, and is excited to be able to continue his liturgical music ministry in the Traditional Latin Mass community at St. Mary Magdalen. He humbly requests your prayers both for himself and for the choir, that the praise of the Lord may bring forth charity in hearts of both those who sing and those who hear.

Sean will begin choir rehearsals next week and hopes to resume singing High Mass on September 23rd.
