Music Ministry

August 1, 2021

Now is a great time for you to become a part of this exciting and rewarding liturgical ministry, for the 2021-2022 season.  The Church teaches us that a CHOIR isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity!  Parishes NEED choirs.  Our adult choirs need YOU.

OUR 9:00am PARISH CHOIR (SATB), under the direction of Emett, (our music director and accompanist), rehearses on THURSDAY evenings from 7:15 to 8:45.  Repertoire consists of all musical styles:  ancient, traditional, and contemporary. Present membership stands at 40.  (Some musical experience is necessary for membership in this choir.)  Our goal is to recruit 10 new members.

OUR 11:00am CHORALE (SATB), under the direction of Mary Ester, and accompanied by Emett, rehearses on TUESDAYS from 7:15 to 8:45.  Repertoire also consists of all styles of music.  Present Membership stands at 25.  Our goal is to recruit many more voices.

Sign-ups for ALL choirs are being accepted after all Masses every weekend in AUGUST.  Please see Emett in the choir loft, take a tour of the loft, peek inside the pipe organ chambers, and sign up!  Membership is open to anyone who is seriously interested in contributing their very best to the Glory of God. 

REHEARSALS begin in mid-September.  Pre-registration is required. DEADLINE to join is Sunday, September 5^th.   But, please don’t wait….come up to the choir loft today, speak with Emett, and JOIN NOW!
 

“Sing to him, sing praises to
him; tell of
all his wondrous
works!” - Psalm 105:2

The purpose of the Music Ministry is to provide music for all liturgical services and supports congregational participation. The choir of voices and instruments leads the parishioners in song throughout Mass for prayer, reflection and meditation. However, another very important function of the Music Ministry is the offering to God of your time and talents from which you will derive personal and spiritual satisfaction.
