“Be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart.”
Eph. 5: 18-19
Parish Choir
The Parish Choir sings for the 9:00 AM Mass each Sunday, September through mid-June. We rehearse every Wednesday evening from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM. A special invitation is extended to high school students. Singing in the Parish Choir is an excellent way to fulfill your hours commitment to your Parish and community.
Joyful Noise Choir
The Joyful Noise Choir sings for the 11:15 AM Mass every other Sunday, October through mid-May, along with other special occasions. Rehearsals are every other Tuesday evening in the church. Skilled younger musicians will also have an opportunity to share their talents with instruments such as flutes, clarinets, trumpets, and guitars. This is a wonderful way to introduce church music to students in grades 2 through 8. The director of the Joyful Noise Choir is Jessica Cochenour.
Resurrection Choir
The Resurrection Choir sings for all Parish funerals. No separate rehearsals are held; instead, please plan to arrive approximately 30 minutes before each funeral to become familiar with the music. For men and women who are available during the day this is a very fulfilling way to service your Parish family in their time of need.
Cantors
Skilled vocalists 16 years of age and older are needed at all Masses. Rehearsals are scheduled once a month. Cantors should have some formal musical training as well as the ability to lead and teach the people psalms and hymns. As a cantor, you will have the unique privilege of bringing life to the songs of Scriptures by assisting the congregation in praying together in song.
Liturgical Instrumentalists
Many competent instrumentalists enhance our liturgies each week and at various special occasions throughout the year. Rehearsals are scheduled only as needed. Whether you are a high school musician or one of the Parish’s more mature musicians, you are encouraged to take advantage of these occasional opportunities to share your talents and serve our church.
