St. John’s Music Ministry exists to enhance the liturgy, encourage participation, and enrich the worship experience of parishioners and visitors. There are many ways to participate in this ministry, including Chorister, Instrumentalist and Cantor.
The Adult Choir rehearses on Wednesdays from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the church and serves once each weekend and at special liturgies. Repertoire includes contemporary, traditional, American spirituals, hymnody, and chant. Requirements for participation are the ability to match rhythms and pitches, a willingness to work hard on vocal and ensemble skills, a commitment to regular practice, and a desire to have fun.
Children’s’ Choirs are ways for younger members to use their special talents in service of God’s people. St. John’s School Choir and the Religious Education Choir sing at masses throughout the school year.
Occasionally, an All Parish Choir is formed for special liturgies.
Cantors are psalmists and leaders of song. If you are interested in this ministry, St. John’s has a discernment process to explore if this ministry is right for you and the Church.
Musical Instruments add richness and variety to our liturgy. If you are a proficient player please consider lending your talent on a regular or occasional basis.
