Cantors
Cantors lead the music at Sunday liturgies and at other liturgical rites. Cantors are typically high school age or older. Cantors are auditioned and must be able to sing the various parts of the Mass (e.g., the Responsorial Psalm and Gospel Acclamation) and must attend monthly rehearsals. The ability to read music is not required but is helpful.

Instrumentalists
Instrumentalists enhance our worship for special liturgical celebrations. All instrumentalists – high school age and older – are encouraged to participate in these liturgies. Brass, woodwind, string, percussion, bass, and guitar are all welcome. Interested individuals should be proficient on their instrument, and willing to practice and learn music on their own.
