Music

As a member of the music ministry, you prepare the music and sing or play an instrument. Each of our Masses has a dedicated team of musicians and singers with a distinct musical sound.  From time to time other musicians join us with trumpets, clarinets and violins.  If you would like to share your God-given musical or vocal talent with any of the ministry teams, we encourage you to contact the volunteer coordinator.
