Music Ministry
|
|
A number of ministries in the liturgy deal directly with music: instrumentalists, accompanists, choir, cantor, contemporary choir, ensembles. These ministries demonstrate the reality that our liturgy is intended to be a musical (sung) liturgy. These ministries are to support the assembly in its sung prayer.
As music ministers, we serve the Church by encouraging the active participation of the assembly at Mass. We commit ourselves to a spirit of hospitality - welcoming the gifts of all parishoners and encouraging them to be involved as music ministers and as active members of the congregation. We select accessible music that highlights the Word of God and strive to present it with quality musicianship. |
