Music Ministries

“The faithful who gather together to await the Lord’s coming are instructed by the Apostle Paul to sing together psalms, hymns and inspired songs”  –  Colossians 3:16

Liturgical song is the sign of the heart’s joy, thus Saint Augustine says rightly “To sing belongs to lovers.”  Music is at the heart of each and every celebration of the mass, the scriptures call us to it.  New members are always welcomed to participate and aspect of the parish’s diverse music ministry.

These song leaders assist year-round at all Masses on Sundays and Holy Days on a rotating basis. You'll have an opportunity to cantor at 3 different locations. Please contact the Music Director to arrange a time to meet.

Choirs

Folk Choir
The Folk choir welcomes vocalists and instrumentalists, sixth-grade through adults, to minister at the 10:00 am or 12:00 pm Sunday Masses on a rotating basis (twice monthly).  The Folk Choir is accompanied by guitar, mandolin, piano, flute and violin.  Rehearsals are held on Tuesday evenings from 7:30 pm -9:00 pm in the choir area in church.

Youth Choir

There are two youth choirs in our Parish. The St. Gregory school choir travels between all three church locations and a separate youth choir sings at Holy Redeemer. Rehearsals for the St. Gregory school choir occurs weekly after the Friday School Mass. The Holy Redeemer choir rehearses Sunday mornings after faith formation classes.

This band plays Contemporary Christian worship music using electric and acoustic guitars, bass guitar, drums/cajon, keyboard, and vocalists. This group generally sings the first and third Sunday of the month at 5:00 pm Mass at St. Ferdinand.
