Holy Ghost Church

Great music in the liturgy has been a long tradition at Holy Ghost. The Sunday 10:00 am Latin Choral Mass is renowned throughout the archdiocese of Denver. The Music that embellishes this Mass features some of the most glorious treasures of western music. The Latin choir is made up of a core of professional singers and is augmented by several dedicated and talented volunteers. There is no other church choir in Denver that carries such a music responsibility week in and week out. Worshippers experience a beautiful liturgy to match the beautiful structure of Holy Ghost Church. The choir has several CD recordings available. Contact the parish office for more information.
