Music and Choirs
The Music Ministry consists of volunteers who dedicate their time and musical talent
in service to the church and community. The Adult Choir, Resurrection Choir, Contemporary
Ensemble, Children's Choir, Cantors, and Instrumentalists comprise the Music Ministry.
The Adult Choir rehearses every Monday evening from 7:00 - 9:00 P.M. from September
through Pentecost. The choir prepares music consisting of 3 to 5 part compositions
for weekend liturgies, holy days, and sacramental celebrations, as well as visiting
nursing homes and participating in local ecumenical services. Time is made to maintain
a prayerful atmosphere while arranging some social outings that include trips to
New York City as well as attending local performances.
The Resurrection Choir provides a valuable service to the community by offering
prayerful musical enhancements to funeral liturgies. The choir assembles 30 minutes
before the funeral Mass to prepare for its repertoire.
The Contemporary Ensemble consists of three dedicated individuals whose avocation
is providing prayerful music throughout the church year, as well as local community
events.
The Children's Choir consists of children from grades 3 through 8. They rehearse
every other Monday evening from 5:30 - 6:30 P.M. and sing the first Saturday Evening
Mass of each month. They will also combine with the Adult Choir for special liturgies,
as well as visiting local nursing homes.
The Cantor provides trained musical leadership to the congregation, displaying a
prayerful persona that is warm and inviting.
On special occasions and major Holy Days, trained instrumentalists, often high school
age students, will volunteer their service to heighten the celebration.
