“Not to us, LORD, not to us but to your name give glory because of your mercy and faithfulness.” Psalm 115:1
Our worship through music is a blessing that touches many hearts. Music Ministry volunteers lead the community in sung worship each week. We welcome new members throughout the year.
The choir serves a vital liturgical role, aiming to praise God and elevate the Mass through sacred music, ranging from traditional Gregorian chant to contemporary hymns. Key functions include singing proper chants, leading congregational hymns, and performing choral anthems.
The primary role of the choir is to pray the Mass. Traditionally, choirs and scholae have always been clerical groups. The choir sings the Mass just as the priest celebrates the Mass. Sacred Music is part of the liturgy and the role of the choir is to pray them through singing. Leading others to pray is the secondary role and it only happens when the choir members themselves are praying. God should be the center of the liturgy. Whether people can sing along and whether people enjoy our singing should not be our main concern. The ultimate goal of a choir is to praise and glory God by singing and praying well.
