About the ministry
**COVID-19 NOTE: Although we are sheltering in place due to COVID-19, our choirs are still active virtually. We invite you to consider joining one of our groups.
Music has the ability to evoke feelings that words cannot express. It is transformative and 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!
This ministry is a great way to grow in faith through using our gifts of music.
Information about the Parish music ensembles are found on this page (below "Photos of Music Ministry"). Registration Information is found there as well.

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.
The Journey - Music Director: Michelle Dreyband
