Music Ministry

“Music should assist the assembled believers to express and share the gift of faith that is within them.”

PURPOSE:
Through the work of musicians, both professional and amateur, assist assembled believers to express and share the gift of faith that is within them during weekend Masses, weddings, funerals, major feast days, and other celebrations; to elevate our Parish liturgies to a higher form of praise through quality music; to promote full conscious and active participation in public prayer. Adults, young adults, and children with various abilities and skill levels are welcome.

ACTIVITIES:
Participate in weekend Masses and other liturgical celebrations as needed; attend scheduled rehearsals for singers and instrumentalists; share the joy of Christ in music and fellowship.

TIME COMMITMENT:
3 –4 hours per week, flexible.
