Music
It is said that music crosses all barriers and that is certainly true of the many choirs within the parish. Music brings joy to those at the mission, and within the churches and chapels choirs abound. At the main church, “Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro,” there are three different choirs ranging in size from eight to sixteen members.
JUPUSA, the choir that sings at the weekly Sunday Mass, toured the United States in 2003. They were received with tremendous welcome and hope to return to the United States for a second tour. They are an award-winning choir with many CDs in circulation.
Every chapel within the parish has its own choir and their names are reflective of their devotion to parish life:
- Our Lady of Sorrows Chapel choir: SUSURRO DE DIOS (translated: “Whispers of God”)
- Corazón de Jesús Chapel choir: Heart of Jesús
- Santa Ana Chapel choir: Águila Sagrada (translated: “Sacred Eagle”)
- Visitors to the mission often comment on the energy and vitality of the choirs and what an impact they have during Masses.
