Music Ministry – Lift Up Your Voice!
Through the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the ministry of music empowers worship and facilitates prayer in our liturgies. Singing enables us to express the spirit and passion of what mere speech cannot. As an integral part of our parish life, this ministry is active with many talented volunteers and professional musicians who are committed to creating a solemn prayer environment through music. Encompassing a variety of styles from the rich tradition of hymnody to the songs of contemporary composers, there is something offered for every worshiper at Ss Peter and Paul Church. We invite you to contact our Director of Music Ministries, Mr. Matthew Still, to learn how you can get involved and share your talents with the community.
Cantors
Cantors are an essential part of the liturgy. Singers who serve as a cantors should have good pitch, basic music reading skills, and an ability to help lead the congregation in song. Each cantor is scheduled based on availability and often requires preparation aside from the regular choir rehearsals. Singers who feel they may be eligible to participate in this important part of the music ministry are encouraged to contact the Music Director, Mr. Matthew Still to set up an audition: musicministryspp@gmail.com
Adult Choir
Joining the adult choir promises to be an enriching experience of fun and fellowship with other singers who share a love of sacred choral music. The choir welcomes new voices throughout the choral season, from September to the end of May. During these months the choir sings each Sunday at 10:30AM, Christmas Eve, and the Triduum and Easter liturgies. Their repertoire includes: sacred traditional and contemporary liturgical pieces, and a variety of anthem-style meditation pieces. Rehearsals begin Wednesday, September 5th at 7:30PM in the church.
