Open to teens of high school age and adults. A love of music, faithfulness
to rehearsal, and "average" singing ability is expected. This choir normally
serves at the 10:00 a.m. Sunday Liturgy as well as the major feasts of
the Liturgical year.

Instrumentalists and vocalists are welcome to sing at the 12:00 noon Liturgy.
Presently we have a drummer, bassist, guitarist, pianist and song leaders.
We need another guitarist and someone to play our electronic keyboard.
A certain level of proficiency is expected - ability to sight read in
different keys, and a certain mastery of the instrument. If you study
an instrument privately and are junior-high, high school of college level,
please consider the ministry. You are guaranteed to have fun, to know
that you are fulfilling a specialized role in this ministry, and you will
find your own growth in music and in prayer deepen and develop.

Open to grades 1 through 6 - an invitation is extended to children attending
any school in the area. Rehearsals begin at 3:30 p.m. after school and
end at 4:15 p.m. These are held on Mondays during the school year. This
choir sings about every 6 six weeks - at various Mass times. A calendar
is given at the first rehearsal.

Three octave bells - belonging to the Minister of Music. Choir is open
to all teens, adults and children of grade five on up, who are ready for
the coordination and challenge that playing bells requires. Some ability
of reading music and having a sense of rhythm is helpful. Performance
at Liturgies are according to a schedule that is prepared in advance.
Rehearsals are on Wednesdays.

Advanced level of playing strings, winds or brass instruments are expecially
invited. All instruments give glory to God in the unique sound they produce
through the skill of the player. Sometimes a flute, oboe, trumpet or violin
is used with our liturgies. Please consider this your ministry if you
have interest, the skill and the talent.
