Music Ministry

Our Role Serving the Parish Our music groups

Music in the liturgy represents Jesus himself, who sang psalms with the apostles at the Last Supper (Mt 26:30; Mk 14:26)

Music is an integral part of our participation in the work of God. For “when song and music are signs of the Holy Spirit’s presence and action, they encourage, in a certain way, communion with the Trinity” (John Paul II, Address to the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music, 3; Chirograph on Sacred Music, 3)
