Refuge

Refuge is an adult Catholic choir - friends who enjoy collaborating in music and music ministry. We formed Refuge because we like being together as a musical group. Our primary ministry is to serve at Catholic liturgies, but we are open to other opportunities for outreach, performance and ministry.

R. I. P. Father Jim

Refuge choir members attended the funeral Mass for Father Jim Parke at Church of the Ascension in Virginia Beach. Father Parke is in the DNA of Refuge. He presided over many Masses for Catholic Campus Ministry at Old Dominion University, from which half of Refuge came to combine with Chirst the  King Sunday evening music ministers in 2011. Then, in fall of 2011, Refuge served as music ministry for Father Jim when he said Masses for a few students and faculty on Sunday evenings at Virginia Wesleyan University. Father Jim was always complimentary and supportive of Refuge.
