Adult Choir
Choir members assist the
assembly at Mass with prayer through song. The Choir has 40 members and sings
at the 10:00 AM Sunday Mass and special liturgies such as Thanksgiving,
Christmas Midnight Mass, Easter Vigil, parish celebrations, Confirmation and
the annual Advent Service of Lessons and Carols. Guitarists and
instrumentalists often join the Choir for these special liturgies. Rehearsals
are held Thursday evenings from 7:00 - 9:00 PM (no rehearsals during July and
August). There are no auditions although it is necessary to work with the
director to determine voice range. A strong sense of commitment and a love of
music are needed. Young adult and up: soprano, alto, tenor and bass.
Family Mass Planning Committee
At our monthly meeting, we
read and pray the Scriptures for the Family Mass on the first Sunday of each
month at the 11:30 AM Mass. Along with the Presider, we shape aspects of the
service to communicate the Word to all age groups.
Liturgical Ministers
Lay women and men serve our
communion by assisting with Sunday worship and with bringing the Holy
Communion to the sick. For information, please see the Get Involved page.
Liturgy of the Word with Children
We presently provide a
separate Liturgy of the Word at various weekend Masses. The children are
escorted to the Chapel where the Readings
are proclaimed from the Children's Lectionary. The schedule is posted
in the bulletin.
Ministers of Liturgical Environment
Helpers assist in planning
and preparing for special days and seasons. The committee meets six times a
year.
Youth Choir
Young persons between grades
3 and 12 sing at the 11:30 AM Sunday Mass. Rehearsals are for one hour each
week from September through Easter. They join the Adult Choir for special
parish celebrations.
