An ancient maxim of the Church holds that "singing is praying twice."

St. Victor's Church is well known throughout the Los Angeles area for having one of the best choirs in the archdiocese. In addition to regular service at the 10:30 liturgy every Sunday, the choir also enriches key celebrations of the Church year—often with the accompaniment of an orchestra as well as the magnificent parish organ, considered one of the finest such instruments in Southern California.

It is not necessary to be a professional singer to join this renowned choir, but dedication and concentration are necessary. The choir rehearses every Thursday evening and on Sunday mornings before Mass. Members appreciate the opportunity to sing choral works by such masters as Handel, Mozart, Haydn, Ralph Vaughan Williams and other masters. A separate schola concentrates on the ancient tradition of Gregorian chant to complement the 5:30 Vigil Mass every Saturday evening.

If you've always enjoyed singing and would like to use that talent for the service of God, you are invited to contact the music director, Dr. Bob de Christopher, himself an accomplished organist who performs throughout the world.
