The Ministry of Music leads us in liturgical music during the weekend Masses, Holy Days, funerals and weddings. Our director of Music Ministries is Timothy Gannon. Parishioners are welcome and encouraged to share their musical talents with the community as singers and musicians in any of the various musical ensembles in the parish.
Adult Choir
The Adult Choir sings each Sunday at the 11:30 a.m. Mass, from September through June. It consists of parishioners from ages eighteen and older that come together weekly to share their time and talent. Together, they experience the joy of ministering to a parish community of faith through active participation in various liturgies and celebrations throughout the liturgical year. The Adult Choir is committed to displaying excellent musicianship, knowledgeable participation in liturgy, and an active prayer life. Rehearsals for the Adult Choir occur every Wednesday from 7 - 9 p.m. in the choir loft. Although we welcome those with experience, no formal training in required. Both vocalists and instrumentalists are encouraged to join.
Cantors are trained to inspire congregational singing at each of our liturgies. Through a skilled voice and a welcoming presence, cantors provide a musical leadership to aid parishioners singing together in singing the music during Mass. Cantors are auditioned based on interest and need. Those who wish to audition should contact Timothy Gannon. No previous experience is required although training in vocal technique is encouraged.
The Children's Choir consists of children in grades K - 8 who provide the music for Mass every Sunday of the month from September to June at the 9:30 a.m. Mass. They are accompanied by an ensemble of teen and adult musicians. Practice is held typically every 2 nd and 4 th Wednesday of the month from 4:15 p.m. - 4:55 p.m. in the Family Room. All school age children (grades K-8) are welcome to join.
