We came together as a choir in December of 1996 at the Community of St. Peter Vietnamese Catholic Church, Dallas, Texas.  St. Peter's is one of the oldest Vietnamese Catholic communities in Dallas.

Back then, we had about 10-15 members. The majority (90%) was female. The choir has gone through some changes from mostly adults to mostly young adults and now back to mostly adults. We are still mostly female and about 20 members. We serve at the noon mass, also known as the youth mass. We rehearse promptly at 10:45 AM on Sunday before mass. Our conductor is Anh Lê Quốc and our president is Chị Trần Ái Phượng.

Why the name Emmanuel? We thought because the time we came together as a choir was Christmas time and so what can be more appropriate?

God is with us! And may God be with you too.
