Music Ministry

Praising our Lord in song can be a powerful way to worship our God. The music ministers work hard to assure that prayer stays first and foremost in what they do as prayer leaders in the liturgy.

The role of anyone who sings, plays piano or plays an instrument is to lead and encourage the assembly in singing. Their task is to assist in the full participation of everyone joining in on the songs, acclamations and responses. Musicians by their role add beauty and solemnity to our liturgical celebrations. Anyone wanting to participate in the ministries listed below needs to possess basic musical skills and to carry out their ministry with a spirit of prayerfulness. This ministry also requires dedicated preparation and commitment. The music ministry is one of service for the good of St. Mary's community and the glory of God.

The music ministry involves:
Song Leaders to lead the congregation in song
Pianists to accompany the congregation during mass
Adult Choir sings at the 9am mass. Rehearsal from September-May on Wednesday 7-9pm
Youth Choir grades 7-12 sing at 6pm Mass once a month from September-April. All youth are invited to sing! Arrive at 4:44pm to rehearse before each designated mass.
Instrumentalists to play during mass

Being involved in the music ministry is an ideal way to share one's musical talents and enriching oneself and others in using the gifts that the Lord has given to each of us.
