Cantors: Cantors are experienced singers who lead the assembly at mass when there is no choir. They are required to know extensive repertoire and to learn new music quickly. Cantors are required to also be choir members. In addition to choir rehearsals, Cantors participate in two cantor rehearsals per month. Those interested in participating in the cantor ministry should plan to be in choir and contact the Director of Sacred Music.
Youth Music Group: The Youth Music Group is made up of 8th – 12th grade singers and instrumentalists who sing once a month for our Youth Friendly Mass (12noon on the second Sunday of the month). This group does contemporary sacred music in addition to current parish repertoire. It is led by Christine Spodnick and rehearses on Fridays from 5-6:15. Interested youth should contact Chrissy at chrissycow@hotmail.com or just come to rehearsal! The first rehearsal of the 2008-2009 season will be September 19, 2008.
Instrumentalists: All instrumentalists who would like to participate at mass should contact the Director of Sacred Music.
