Next week is Service Sunday. Please encourage new members to join the
music ministry! We welcome all vocalists and instrumentalists, and we
especially need keyboard accompanists, guitar accompanists, and cantors.

The aim of the music ministry is to add beauty to the Mass using music.  We hope to offer music as another form of worship and prayer for all parishioners, as well as for choir members ourselves. 

If you like music, you'd enjoy being a part of this ministry. 

There are several groups/times to choose from - Saturday evening 6:00PM, 8:45 Sunday, 11:15 Sunday, Filipino Choir, and Legion of Mary Choir.  Rehearsals generally take place one hour before Mass. 

We welcome all vocalists and instrumentalists, and we especially need keyboard accompanists, guitar accompanists, and cantors. 

If you are interested to find out more, sign up next week at Service Sunday, come talk with one of the choir members after Mass, or e-mail Peggie Fitch at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. 

Looking for an important and fun way to serve your parish community? Join the Acolyte (altar server) Ministry! Acolytes must be at least 10 years of age and must have celebrated their First Holy Communion.
