May the Peace of Christ be with you!
Saint Mary of the Assumption Roman Catholic Church, Pylesville is located in the beautiful rural country side of northern Harford County. In-so-doing-so, we facilitate spiritual direction, and healing, for those in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and all vistors, alike.
Saint Mary’s Choir serves for the glory of God, to add beauty to the liturgies. We enjoy, and are passionate, about choral music. Our focus is centered on developing missionary Disciples of Christ through our service of Liturgical Music during Mass(es). We strive to provide spiritually, uplifting liturgical music to our parish community.
No audition necessary for participated in our choir. We meet on Thursday evenings at 7:00 PM, lasting a maximum of ninety (90) minutes. Our choir Mass (service) is on Sundays at 9:30, with a 30 minute rehearsal before Mass. As well, our choir serves during Holy Feast Days and other special liturgical para-liturgies and celebrations. Our rehearsals before Mass will review all music for Mass, so that if you missed a rehearsal you are spiritually, and musically, prepared for the Mass.
Another facet of our Music Ministry is our cantors. To become a cantor, a brief audition is required; no requirement to read music. Our cantors serve at our Saturday 4:00 PM Mass, our Sunday 8:00 AM and 9:30 AM Masses, para-liturgies, and other spiritual celebrations throughout the liturgical year. As aforementioned, all Masses require a thirty (30) rehearse to review Mass music.
We are always looking for new members. Inquiries and questions should be directed towards:

Furthermore, the Contemporary Music group at St. Mary's serves God, and the parish, by providing music at the 11:30 AM Mass, and various other Masses, concerts, and events throughout the year. We rehearse Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM in the church. We enjoy the more contemporary praise and worship style of music. The first Sunday of the month we combine with the Youth Ministries and provide a Contemporary Praise and Worship celebration at the 11:30 Mass.
