Music Ministry Description

The St. Michael the Archangel Music Ministry has over 175 members. The role of the Music Ministry is to enhance the liturgy, lead and support the congregation at sung prayer at all of the 11 weekend liturgies. Keyboard accompanists, guitars, bass, percussion, brass, woodwinds, and strings make up the various groups. Our children’s choir and a ministry of 20 Cantors help round this vibrant ministry.


Choir Mission

To direct our time and talents through music as an extension of the parish mission “to empower and live the Gospel.” This ministry is centered on the sacraments and our acts of faith, hope and charity.


What this ministry can do for you

Being a member encourages a sense of community within the Music Ministry. We laugh, play, and pray together as ONE family. We rise above our own feelings to respond to God in sung prayer and thus help lead the community in prayer at liturgy. This ministry helps build confidence in leadership roles as ministers of sung prayer and psalms of the church. We feel a sense of accomplishment when a musical piece has been in rehearsal and is finally ready to be sung.
