Liturgy Planning:
People who are interested in the planning of liturgical seasons and some
special events are asked to consider becoming a part of the Liturgy planning
team. Experience is welcome, though not a prerequisite. The team meets on the
4th Wednesday of the month.
Music:
Singers and competent instrumentalists are especially requested to consider
the music ministry. There are openings for the choirs which sing the 5:00 P.M.
Saturday and 9:30 Sunday Masses. Instrumentalists are welcome at these times as
well. The groups practice on Thursday evenings from September to June, and sing
three out of four weekends during this time. Cantors/song leaders are also
needed for substitutions and summer singing. Children who enjoy singing are
invited to join the Children's Choir, which sings at masses which will be
scheduled throughout the year. Teens who enjoy singing or play an instrument are
invited to join the teen music group.
