The Seta Church choir has approximately 15 members, and they perform liturgical hymns at Mass, as well as singing at weddings and funerals.

Our mindset when singing at Mass is to "sing from the heart."

Regarding singing from the heart, the late Saburo Takada, who composed many liturgical hymns, said: "The majority of liturgical hymns are based on the words of the Bible. When they are actually sung, those words speak clearly to our hearts as living words, and they should permeate our hearts in a deeper way." (Source: "Composing Liturgical Hymns" by Saburo Takada, published by Oriens Institute for Religious Studies)

With the understanding that singing is a form of prayer and that songs are offered to God, I intend to lead the congregation in singing hymns, praying and singing from the bottom of my heart.

As a rule, we practice regularly for about an hour after Mass on the fourth Sunday of each month. If you're interested, why not join us and sing in the choir!
