From Palestrina to Mozart, from Victoria to Vierne, to the Monks of Solesmes, the greatest composers of history have written music for the Church. At the St. Benedict Community Tridentine Mass, we are dedicated to bringing this great treasury of sacred music to the setting for which it was originally composed: The Traditional Latin Mass.

Our choir of professional and volunteer singers is comprised of men and women with experience in Gregorian Chant and Polyphonic works. Members of the Windsor Symphony Orchestra join our choir to perform orchestral Masses for special occasions. Gregorian Chant is an important part of the Latin Mass, and therefore the Propers of the Mass are sung every week. Handouts are provided so that the congregation may join in chanting the Ordinary of the Mass.

The Church Music Association of America wrote about our choir here.

Organist and Choir Director for the St. Benedict Tridentine Community is Mr. Wassim Sarweh.
