Ministry Mission Statement:

Music has always been an integral part of Catholic worship, celebration, and liturgy. The music ministry seeks to lead the congregation in praising God, raising a joyful sound of praise to our Lord Jesus Christ, and enhancing the experience of coming together in community and as one body in Christ. We seek to engage, not just to be observed. We seek full, active, conscious involvement of the whole congregation and in that way become an instrument to teach and to comfort. Music in the Catholic Church provides the opportunity for a deeper connection to Christ, the Liturgy, and our church family through sound and silence prayerfully intertwined. Our Music Ministry program seeks to encourage and enrich church member participation in the Mass by ensuring that all Masses have music which is not only Liturgically appropriate, but also engaging and meaningful.

We provide the opportunity for musicians and singers of all ages and ranges of
