MUSIC MENU


JANUARY 18TH - ASH WEDNESDAY
 

Dear Parish Family,

Each Sunday when we gather to celebrate the Eucharist we sing sacred songs and hymns because music helps the words get into our hearts and our minds even better than listening or speaking does. Everyone who comes to Mass, from the presider to the lectors, ushers – everyone – is part of the singing church.

The role of our parish choirs is to invite the larger assembly into song, and to embellish the voice of the congregation. The choirs use their great gift of song to spread faith into our hearts and minds.

During the month of August we encourage all parishioners to consider becoming involved in one of our many parish choirs. Please see the reverse side of this sheet for detailed information about the many opportunities available.

There is an old proverb that says: “Someone who sings well prays twice.” We invite you to consider taking an active role in leading the sung prayer of our parish by becoming involved in one of our parish choirs.

Sincerely,
Debra Wyka Music Minister
