The mission of the parish music ministries is to serve the Church by leading and uplifting the assembly’s sung worship at the Liturgy of the Mass and other services and events in the parish. The parish music ministries facilitate the sung prayer of the assembly by encouraging active participation.  The music we use at Mass is a mix of the traditional and contemporary music sung by the entire parish, and special music from various other resources.  All music contains lyrics that are consistent with Catholic teaching.
 
MEMBERS OF THE PARISH MUSIC MINISTRIES
The parish music ministries consist of children, youth and adults, of all ages and abilities, serving as cantors, accompanists, instrumentalists, soloists and in small ensembles.  Some are volunteers, some are paid professionals.  All are dedicated to serving the Lord and the parish to the best of their abilities.  The added benefits of participating in music ministry are the enjoyment that comes from making music, the satisfaction of serving others within the community in a special way, and the wonder of worshiping Our God Who is worthy to be praised!
 
REHEARSALS
Rehearsals are mandatory.  The number and frequency of rehearsals depends upon the nature of the particular music ministry being performed, and a schedule is established by the Parish Music Director and the individual ministers or ensembles.
