“Each of you should join the choir, that by being symphonic in your harmony, and by taking up the song of God together, you may sing together in one voice through Jesus Christ to the Father, that He may both hear and recognize you through the good deeds you achieve, since you are members of His Son.”
Music Ministry
We aim to Glorify God through music, and offer Him our talents as a sacrifice of praise. We strive to aid in the beautification our liturgies.
We use music to aid us in our own sanctification, to improve our ability to pray, and to tune our hearts and minds to better listen and receive the Word of God.
We offer plenty of opportunities for our parishioners to actively participate in the Music Life of our parish, inside and outside the main liturgies: singing, playing, learning, and listening.
For current music members (Cantors, choir members, etc):
