It should be pointed out that both Choirs have the same and common origin; most of the members discovered Choir music when they were very young and joined a former Choir, Orfeón Portuense, founded in 1980. Since late 2013 , the possibility of a fusion of the two Choirs arises, motivated by the need of a common goal for both groups to improve, learn, make progress and get thrilled with our love for choral music.

What was once a packed out mass full of joy and prayer, families and young couples, singles and religious, was now a quieter mass with no Choir and I saddened by this. I offered my services as a singer and musician to come and provide music for the 5:30 mass and within a few short weeks I returned to the place I consider my spiritual home. I had not purposely set out to start a Choir but people began to approach me with a desire to sing and it was a need within the community I was not going to Ignore. On the 12th Dec 2008 The Jes Gospel Choir was birthed with 5 singers and me & it was a wonderful experience and we received a very warm welcome. Within a year the Choir grew to over 15 members and some musicians. The wonderful thing about this Choir is that it is a Choir th...    less
