St. Vitus
FSSP, Los Angeles
Sacred Music
St. Vitus features a flourishing sacred music program, led by Jeff Ostrowski.
We sing Renaissance polyphony, Gregorian Chant, Catholic hymnody, and some modern polyphonic compositions as we accompany the priest - and Our Lord - on the altar for the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Join our 40+ parishioners who sing in our choirs!
Or sing Vespers with us at 5 p.m. on Sundays.
St. Vitus Choir - Christmas Midnight Mass, 2019.
