Music Ministry
The Music Ministry program is seeking vocalists and instrumentalists to join our new Youth and Young Adult Music Worship Team. This ministry is designed to use your musical gifts to serve our parish community in a deep and meaningful way. Our primary goal is to connect others with God through worship music. Youth and Young Adults who sing or play an instrument, or both, are strongly encouraged to join us!
We will blend Contemporary Praise and Christian music, as well as select traditional hymns with a fresh new twist. We will sing at our Sunday 6pm Mass. Special events throughout the year will include a Worship Night as well as other opportunities to extend our message to the community. Rehearsal times are Wednesdays at 6pm. For more information, please contact the Director of Music, Artie Carew via email, and please feel free to also visit our parish website.
