Music Ministries

Cantors

Cantors lead the congregation in singing the Psalm and the Gospel Acclamation.  If no choir is present, the Cantor also leads the congregation in singing the Mass responses and hymns for that liturgy. A strong, pleasant voice with the ability to read music are essential for this ministry.  A commitment to practicing at home in preparation to sing at the liturgies for which you are scheduled, along with some flexibility in when you serve are also required. New Cantors are invited to audition with the Director of Liturgy and Music.

Instrumentalists

Do you play the cello, trumpet, piano or another orchestral instrument? We are in need of musicians who are proficient at their instrument to assist with music ministry for various celebrations throughout the church year. Commitment may vary.

Parish Choir

Our English choir leads the singing most weeks at the 10:00am Sunday Mass. Rehearsal takes place at 6:30p on Wednesday in the Faith Development Center. Rehearsals run from early September through the end of Eastertide. Extra rehearsal time to prepare for Christmas and Easter Liturgies is often required.

Spanish Choir

The Spanish Choir leads singing at the 6:00pm Saturday Spanish Mass. This group gathers on Thursdays at 6:30pm in the Faith Development Center to rehearse.

Children’s Choir

Made up of students from St. Anthony Catholic School, our children’s choir rehearses weekly just before school. The children’s choir sings at School Masses and at special liturgies throughout the year.

Readers

Do you have a love for Sacred Scripture? Would you enjoy seeing others come to Christ because of your proclamation of the Word? If you have a strong, clear voice and feel called to proclaim God’s Word, pray to discern if this is what God wants you to do. Training provided.

Sacristans

Sacristans assist in the preparation and coordination of Mass/Liturgy: Daily Mass, Funeral Mass, Sunday Mass, Confirmation, First Communion, and other liturgies.
