Church of St. Marys - Willmar, Mn

Handbell Choir

The Handbell Choir provides music for weekend liturgies and other special services. Reading music is helpful but not necessary. Practices are Monday at 5:30 pm plus playing at Mass. Open to youth and adults.

The Handbell Choir is currently ringing a 4 octave set of Schulmerich handbells. Many thanks go out to the generous members of the Daughters of Isabella, the Parish Administrative Council, the Church of St. Mary, Betty Fransen in memory of Dave Fransen, and the family of Bernice Ahlquist who have financially supported the purchase and maintenance of the handbells and the growth of the handbell choir at St. Mary’s.

For more information on participation in this choir, please contact the parish office.
