Music Ministry

At the foundation of Music Ministry is the belief that nothing is more important than the song of the assembly. It involves every member of our community as all are called to participate in the liturgy through sung prayer. To add solemnity and beauty to our liturgies and paraliturgies, there are four choirs and hundreds of choristers who use their talents in a special way to praise the Lord. Our choirs, cantors, and Schola Cantorum work to enhance the song of the congregation. (Detailed Choir Information)
