There are many opportunities for musicians to share their talents and skills with our parish:
Cantors/Psalmists/SongLeaders: Just as being a lector involves more than just reading the text, the role of the cantor involves more than just singing the music. These liturgical ministers are familiar with the scripture and use their musical abilities to bring the words of the psalms and the hymns to life. Cantors receive training and rehearse before Mass. It is helpful if the cantor can read basic music, but not necessary.
Shrine Choir: The Shrine Choir leads the music at the 9:30 a.m. Mass from September through June. Other events include Christmas Midnight Mass and Holy Week services. Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Shrine Church.
Contemporary Choir: The Contemporary Choir sings year-round at the 7:00 p.m. Mass. All are welcome to join the choir by coming to the pre-Mass rehearsal at 6:15 p.m.
Musical Instrumentalists: Musicians are needed to enhance the beauty of our liturgies. Proficiency on the instrument is required as well as good sight-reading skills.
