When Browerville had two Catholic Churches, each church had its own choir. In 1976, Father Scholtz knew the churches would combine, so the chorus joined together and took turns singing at St. Peter’s and St. Joseph’s. Later, when the parishes were combined and named Christ the King, the choir took the name Unity Choir, because they wanted unity of the parish community.
