Alto: Mirella Lief, Mary Lee Carver

The Perkins Ringers was founded about 16 years ago when Robert and Mary Perkins first came to St. Andrew's Church. Bob, who passed away in 2022 was an accomplished organist and choirmaster has degrees from Syracuse University and Union Theological Seminary in New York. Mary is retired after 36 years of teaching and serving as principal in Louisiana public schools.
The group grew steadily over the years to as many as a dozen members; many of them professional musicians. In addition to playing regularly at St. Andrew's, the group has also played at "Back Around the Clock" and the Poydras Home.
