kwaz_y@yahoo.comComposed of multiple choirs plus cantors, the Music Ministry leads worship services with music and song at all weekend Masses (except 7:30 a.m.). By providing inspirational music that reinforces the Gospel message, the choirs invite more prayerful and active participation in the Liturgy. The Music Ministry performs a complimentary music festival annually.
The Adult Choir’s repertoire includes traditional hymns and liturgical songs, usually with organ or piano accompaniment. This choir meets on Thursday evenings, from 8:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Praisers, the children’s choir, is open to boys and girls in grades 4 through 8, meets on Thursday evenings from 7:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., and sings at the 9:00 a.m. Mass on the first Sunday of the month. The Praise & Worship music team uses contemporary sacred music to lead the congregation in song. The team is open to high school students and adults.
