Music Ministry

         ”Music should assist the assembled believers to express and share the gift of faith that is within them and to nourish and strengthen their interior commitment of faith… Music can also unveil a dimension of meaning and feeling… which words along cannot yield.”

– Music in Catholic Worship, Bishops’ Committee on the Liturgy, 1972.

 
St. Angela Merici Choir (High School & Up)

This Choir provides various styles of music and sings SATB (four-part harmony).  Previous music experience is helpful, but certainly not required.  Participants must simply possess a reasonably good singing voice (the ability to match and maintain pitch) and be willing to commit to rehearsals and liturgies.  This choir is for ages 15 - 100.  For more information, please contact Tracy Oliver in the Liturgy Office.

 
Youth and Children’s Choir (3rd  – 8th )

If your child loves to sing, joining the choir is a great way for them to be good stewards! children can lead the assembly in song, helping others to fully and actively participate in the liturgy, just as the adults do!  All youth and children in grades 3^rd and up are welcome!   Cantor role for this group is open to Youth in grades 5^th and up, who are mature enough to understand their responsibilities and to carry them out well and with appropriate reverence.
For more information, please contact Tracy Oliver in the Liturgy Office.  
They will sing the 4th Sunday of the month at the 8am Mass in addition to Christmas Eve, Easter Sunday, and Mother's Day.

 
Life Teen Band (High School & up)

This group’s mission is to encourage and support congregational singing by providing good liturgical music in a light, charismatic style; to enhance full, conscious, and active participation of the faithful during liturgical celebrations.  Special emphasis is placed on outreach to our teens and young adults.  For more information, contact Tracy Oliver in the Liturgy Office.

 
Cantor

Cantors must be someone with a skill to sing, a desire to lead, a love for the people, and a faith-filled heart that must praise God. Those called to this ministry must commit to independent rehearsal time and preparation. Though Cantors do not need to be professionally trained singers, they must possess skill in the use of their voice, a pleasant tone, and the ability to lead the congregation through song. Cantors are usually members of one of the Choirs.  A training session and refresher sessions for this ministry is required.  To set up an interview or for more information, please contact Tracy Oliver in the Liturgy Office.

 
Instrumentalists

Instrumentalists heighten the beauty of the music for the assembly!  Woodwinds, strings and brass are welcome!  Those that wish to share their music during the liturgy may do so regularly, or even seasonally, depending on ability.  To set up an interview, or for more information, please contact Tracy Oliver in the Liturgy Office.                                         

We hope that all join us in celebrating God's glory through the gift of music!
