The Music Ministry of our church reflects the vibrancy of our parish community. Saint Paul admonishes the church to proclaim her witness in “psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.”

 

Our musical heritage is truly a reflection of the Catholic Church. Instrumentalists augment our regular choirs on high feast days of the church year.

 

Our typical Sunday celebration of the Holy Mass is led by the following musical forces, late September through Corpus Christi (mid-June):

 

- Sunday at 9 or 11 AM:  St. Joseph's Parish Choir

- Holy Days: As announced

 

St. Joseph's Parish Choir (Rehearsal Schedule) 

Saint Joseph's Choir sings at the 9 or 11 AM Sunday Mass. The choir sings different styles of music from traditional hymnody, Gregorian chant, classical choral literature to present day.  The ensemble utilizes the organ as its primary accompaniment with occasional added instruments. Rehearsals are held on Thursday evenings at 7 PM in Parish Center room 1.  All are welcome for more information, contact the Director of Music. 

 

Children's Choir

Our Children’s choir sings for one  Liturgy at Christmas and Easter with rehearsals Sunday mornings after the 9:00 Mass in the Church for approximately 30 minutes (4 weeks prior to Christmas and Easter). Children in grades 2-7 are welcome. For more information, contact the Director of Music.

​

Cantors

Cantors proclaim the psalms and are the leaders of song at all weekend and holy day liturgies.  They encourage the assembly's singing and are responsible for teaching new songs and acclamations to the assembly.  A pleasant singing voice and good public speaking skills are required.  Cantors may be scheduled at their convenience.  For more information, contact the Director of Music.

 

Instrumentalists

In addition to the instrumentalists who accompany the choir, we also seek proficient organists and pianists to support the singing at our other weekend and holy day Masses. For more information, contact the Director of Music.
