Music Ministry

Music is an integral part of the liturgy and our many choirs enhance the celebration of mass. There are five different choirs welcoming vocalist and instrumentalist members from 5 years of age and up. No specific musical talent needed except an appreciation for this ministry. Assistance is always needed with children’s choirs and administrative tasks.
