Music MinistryA healthy Parish is a singing Parish! -

"The music at Mass is important, very important! It is not simply a performance by a soloist or choir, a background to accompany our prayer, a means to create a mood, or an incentive to shout and clap our hands. Music is integral to our liturgical worship."
Everyone should participate in our parish's music in one of two ways:
- Sing and participate as much as possible during Mass.
- Join one of our music groups listed below!
If you ever have any questions, concerns, or ideas about the music at Mass, please don't hesistate to contact me or come and speak with me after Mass.
Thank you!
Jon McLear, Director of Music
