The Schneider Male Chorus will be returning to St. Andrew’s in just over a week, on Monday March 31 at 7pm. The chorus originated with a group of employees from the JM Schneider Meat Packing Co. in 1938. Currently, Bob Courtney a member of St. Andrew’s sings with them. We have invited this talented group back to help raise funds for our 2025 Adopt a Room project for the House of Friendship! Invite your family and friends and join us for a lively evening of musical favourites, while supporting this great program.

Donate to our House of Friendship Adopt a Room project by cash, cheque or online, through St. Andrew’s church. Please indicate your donation is for the House of Friendship Adopt a Room project. Donations will be matched by Trust Funds.

Proceeds from the Schneider Male Chorus Concert will support the House of Friendship Adopt a Room program.The Adopt a Room program provides 24/7 shelter, along with onsite health care and addiction support. The 100 men in the program are experiencing the wraparound supports that address the root causes of homelessness, getting healthier and housed –for good!

The Schneider Male Chorus sprang out of a gathering at a local picnic for employees of the J.M. Schneider Meat Packing Co. The all-male chorus, with the encouragement and support of the company president and owner, Norman C. Schneider, was officially founded in 1939 –and began to perform throughout the community and the province, growing in both numbers and strength of performance.
