Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted

Waltham, MA


WELCOME TO OUR LADY'S ~  A COMMUNITY OF FAITH ROOTED IN THE EUCHARIST

Adult Choir


We are a choir composed of men and women of all ages and musical skills. The choir typically sings at the Sunday morning 11:00am Mass. it also sings for all our major Liturgies and Feasts. The choir sings in four part harmony (SATB). Our repertoire is large and varied, from songs and anthems from the Renaissance period all the way to contemporary christian music. The choir usually rehearses on Wednesday evening from 7:00pm to 8:30pm and on Sunday morning before Mass at 10:15am.


Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted Parish uses the OCP (Oregon Catholic Press) music program. The assembly uses the Breaking Bread Missalettes. We are using the Respond and Acclaim book for our Responsorial Psalms. In some instances we will use a different setting of a Psalm.


Cantors at Our Lady's: Some of our cantors are members of the Schola, a teenage advanced music group, specializing in traditional classical church repertoire from the Renaissance to the modern era. We also have adult cantors. Other cantors participate in leading the assembly in songs for our youth celebrations, children's Masses and other Masses as well.


Schola: It is a group of very talented teenagers with more advanced music and voice training dedicated to singing more traditional classical music religious repertoire. The group is very versatile and is equally at ease with music from Palestrina or modern Christian music.
