Our mission is to serve our parish family by providing the best music possible, enhancing our prayer and giving glory to God. We seek to provide music that is appropriate for Catholic liturgy, engaging our assembly in full and active participation in responses, acclamations and inspired songs.

“The Lord has blessed me with musical talent that I have been able to share for 38+ years. I am honored that Fr. Scott believes in me!  I believe the glass is half full, not half empty.  I love to make people smile, touch someone’s heart, and inspire one to be their best!” 

“He who sings,” said St. Augustine, “prays twice.” The holy Bishop of Hippo meant that singing adds to our praise and worship of God—that our voices are gifts, with which we can make music to the Lord. Sung prayer expresses the joy of the heart, the happiness resulting from one who has encountered Jesus Christ and experienced his love. Sung prayer reminds us of the choirs of Heaven, with whom we are called to praise God eternally in Heaven. 

The Second Vatican Council taught that, “liturgical worship is given a more noble form when the divine offices are celebrated solemnly in song, with the assistance of sacred ministers and the active participation of the people.” When the sacred liturgy is sung, it becomes more beautiful, and more reflective of the beauty of the Most Blessed Trinity. Christians have sung in sacred liturgy since the Church’s earliest days.

Pope St. John Paul II prayed that every Catholic, by “expressing their faith harmoniously and solemnly in song, will experience its richness ever more fully and will abide by the commitment to express its impulses in their daily life.

With daily life being so busy, commitment can be challenging… I have broken the year into “Choir Seasons”  hoping to encourage more participation . . . Please join us for one season or more!
