Please Sponsor a Singer!
You will soon begin to see and hear new voices in the St. Paul’s choir: professional Section Leaders and Choral Scholars from Nantucket High School, thanks to “seed money” donations from two generous parishioners. We urgently need other donors to underwrite and continue the effort for the real need to add outstanding singers and promising high school musicians to our choir. Please help us ensure that our choir can continue as a viable and vibrant part of our worship services during the upcoming Christmas season and throughout the entire year.
Please make your donation by check placed in the collection plate or mailed to "Treasurer, St. Paul's Church, and 20 Fair Street, Nantucket, MA 02554“ - in either case marked “for singers."
Thank you, St. Paul’s Music Committee
