Music
Singing expresses both the joy and mystery of the human heart. The more we sing, the more joy we derive from it. The more devotion, discipline, and joy we put into our singing, the richer will be the blessing that will come to our Christian Community from singing together.

Cantors
The cantor encourages the congregation to sing -- whether it be hymns, responsorial psalms or parts of the Mass. This is a ministry which serves the people as they pray in song.
We wish to invite and encourage all who are gifted with a singing voice or instrumental skills -- to join one of our various choirs and be active in this rewarding ministry within the church.
