The Music Ministry supports the sung prayer of the assembly, and often provides enhancement through choral pieces.\u00a0 We boast adult ministers, a Youth Choir, and a Saturday evening ensemble.\u00a0\u00a0This ministry include six cantors who serve the assembly and proclaim the psalms in song.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you sing or play an instrument, please come to a rehearsal (times and days are listed in the parish bulletin) or contact Music Director, Barb Upton. We always welcome singers (SATB) and instrumentalists (woodwind, brass, percussion) to the adult ministry. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singers do not have to audition nor be able to read music.  The only prerequisites are a love of music, the desire to serve our community, and the ability to regularly attend rehearsals and Masses.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Youth Choir, comprised of second through eighth graders, sings at the 9:30 am Family Masses. They generally rehearse two Sundays per month, immediately after the 9:30 am Mass.  They provide the music for the 4:00 pm Christmas Eve Mass and join the adult group for the Easter Vigil.  Extra rehearsals take place before Christmas and before Easter.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Adult Music Ministry currently rehearses at 8:00 pm on Monday nights, September to June. Rehearsals normally last 1 to <\/span> 1 \u00bd <\/span> hours. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the adult groups come together for the parish celebrations of Confirmation, the Paschal Triduum and other important parish celebrations.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
