"God has bestowed upon his people the gift of song. God dwells within each human person, in the place where music takes its source. Indeed, God, the giver of song, is present whenever his people sing his praises." -Sing to the Lord : Music in Divine Worship
The Music Ministry enhances our liturgies and celebrations with the Church's rich tradition of music, both vocally and instrumentally. Participants in this ministry enjoy that special sense of community that comes from making something beautiful together, for God, and for his people.
