Music Ministry/Choir
Purpose: To enhance our Liturgical celebrations with music, and to invite the
congregation to join in “making a joyful noise.”  Singing is praying twice.
Time commitment: Choir practice is Tuesday evening 7:30 – 8:30 PM.  Cantors practice
various evenings during the week.  Choir sings at some Sunday Masses and at special
Liturgical celebrations as announced.
