La Purisima Parish Choir is the resident choral ensemble of La Purisima Catholic Church in Orange, CA.  We rehearse most every Thursday night from 7-9 PM and sing most Sunday mornings for mass at 10 AM.  Our mission is to serve our parish by making awesome music to the glory of God.  Our repertoire is varied, ranging from ancient chant and Palestrina to Liszt, Vaughan Williams, Rutter and even newer.  Come by La Purisima sometime for 10 AM mass and check us out!  If you are interested in singing with our choral ensemble, come join us!
