Music Ministry

“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.”  Psalm 98:4

 

Ministry Opportunities

You are invited and welcome to join one of our Music Ministries,

for parishioners grades 3 – 12 and Adults.

New members for our Adult Programs are welcome and accepted year round.

Registration for our Children & Youth Music Ministers takes place prior to the beginning of the new school year.

Exceptions for new parishioners arriving after the school year begins will be taken. 

 

 The music ministry is designed to bring song into the Mass through a pastoral musician. The primary function of the pastoral musician is to be rooted in the Gospel and to lead the singing assembly into prayer, through celebration, preparation, evaluation, education and personal ministry.  The music ministry at Our Lady of Sorrows Parish helps enrich the faith life of all those celebrating Liturgies and special Masses.  Our Resurrection Choir helps minister to those grieving the loss of a loved one at funerals. 

 

To find out more about the particular Music Ministry you are interested in,  please contact the designate Director for a list of requirements, expectations, and activities.
