"Shout joyfully to the LORD, all you lands; worship the LORD with cries of gladness; come before him with joyful song." - Psalms 100:1-2

About Us

Musicians serve at Mass by assisting the sung prayer of the congregation. Many different styles of music allow for a varied expression of worship. The music ministry is made up of both students and non-students. Rehearsals are generally held one night a week and before Sunday Mass. Vocalists and instrumentalists are encouraged to participate.

We have choirs at all the Sunday liturgies, plus the monthly Mass in Spanish.

10:30am Mass: The 10:30am mass choir sings mostly small ensemble music. Singers and instrumentalists are welcome. We rehearse on Wednesday nights on campus and meet at 9:30 on Sunday mornings to prepare for Mass at 10:30 in Tresidder Student Union Oak Room.
4:30pm Mass: The 4:30pm mass choir sings more difficult part-songs incorporating a wide variety of musical styles from classical to contemporary. Rehearsals are 8-10:00pm on Wednesday nights. We meet at 3:30 on Sunday afternoons and sing for the 4:30 Mass in Memorial Church. This choir will also sing for special events, weddings, funerals, and concerts. No auditions required, but music reading and some previous experience is a definite asset. Instrumentals are often incorporated--so if you play piano, drums, strings, guitars, winds we would love to have you involved. There are chamber orchestras for special events.
10:00pm Mass: The 10:00pm mass choir specializes in contemporary-style music. This is the choir for late-night singers and instrumentalists! The music group rehearses at 8:45pm on Sunday evenings and sings for the 10:00pm Mass in Memorial Church. Music is often sung in harmony, with multiple instruments for accompaniment.
Misa en Español: The Spanish Mass choir sings for our monthly Mass in Spanish. Singers and instrumentalists from Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Venezuela are currently involved. The choir also forms the coro for our Lady of Guadalupe celebration in December and the Spanish Graduation Mass in June.
Special Liturgies: All musicians combine for special liturgies during Holy Week, the Early Holiday Liturgy, Graduation Masses and the yearly Liturgical Arts Concert. There is also a music ministry retreat once a year.

Serving Through Music

Come join us in worship and prayer through music! If you are interested in serving in Music Ministry with us as a vocalist or instrumentalist, please contact Teresa Pleins. We look forward to worshipping with you!

Activities & Special Events

In addition to Sunday Mass, the Music Ministry participates in a variety of special concerts and music programs throughout the year. We also have a Music Ministry retreat each spring where we enjoy fellowship through music and fun.
