About the ministry**COVID-19 NOTE: Although Parish activities are suspended due to COVID-19, we are still welcoming inquiries in joining music ministry!*
Music has the ability to evoke feelings that words cannot express. It is transformative in the way it brings people of all walks of life together. Sacred music is meant to draw of us nearer to Christ and bring us to the table to share in the Lord’s banquet.
Sacred Music is integral to Liturgy, and the Church calls us ALL, the gathered assembly, to sing, engaging into full, active, and conscious participation.
The primary role of music ministry is to support the assembly in sung prayer.
If you are interested in serving in this ministry, whether through singing, playing an instrument, to audio-visual support, St. Mary's offers various ways to get involved!
Information about the musicians that serve at our Masses are found on this page (below "Photos of Music Ministry").

The Journey
“The Journey” is our youth choir and instrumental ensemble that specializes in contemporary Christian and Catholic music at St. Mary's. The goal of the group is to give the youth of the parish an opportunity to participate in the music ministry while singing and playing music that appeals to them. We provide the music for the 5 p.m. Sunday mass every week in a laid back and musical atmosphere that is welcoming to teenagers.
Rehearsals are an hour before the 5:00PM Mass.
