We had an amazing turnout for the August 2022 workshop with Benedict and Talia Maria Sheehan. It was such a joy to sing with Orthodox Christian singers from the 6 parishes represented by the singers and directors in attendance!

We will soon begin planning with the Sheehans for the 2023 workshop and will continue hosting local multi-parish workshops in the interim - please watch for details!  If you are interested in receiving updates regarding the 2023 Workshop, upcoming local workshops, or the formation of the Carolina Deanery Choir (a work in progress!) please email Tamara and Sarah Mary. Email and phone contact information is listed on the 2022 registration form. 

Thank you for your continued support!
