About

St. Tikhon’s Seminary Mission Choir

St. Tikhon's Seminary Mission Choir is a choral group from St. Tikhon's Seminary dedicated to God through the Church's primary evangelistic and teaching tool: Her Liturgical worship. The Seminary Mission Choir strives to bring life, invigoration, and inspiration to the parishes which are visited throughout the year. Not only do parishioners interact with and see Seminarians who are attempting to follow the call of the Lord, but this interaction also puts a real human face on an institution that has been providing the Church in America with Her clergy and many lay leaders for over eighty years. The Seminary Mission Choir raises funds for the work of the Seminary, which primarily relies on donations from the Church and Her faithful to continue its work for the Church in America. The Choir is available throughout the school year for parish visits throughout the United States.
