St. Mary Magdalen Dominican Parish

Music Ministry

Our ministry as musicians is primarily to the gathered assembly. Hospitality, attentiveness, musical talent and commitment all combine to enrich out celebration of the liturgy.

There are a number of ways to participate:

11:00 Choir

This choir emphasizes early music and traditional hymns. We rehearse on Thursday nights from 7:00-9:00 p.m. and sing at the 11:00 a.m. Sunday Mass.

9:30 Choir

This choir sings a variety of styles from gospel to early music, including many contemporary Catholic songs, and performs with guitars, piano, woodwinds, percussion, and other instruments. We rehearse on Wednesday nights from 7:00-9:00 p.m. and sing at the 9:30 a.m. Sunday Mass.

Cantor Ministry

Singers may audition for cantoring at the 5:30 p.m. Saturday or 8:00 a.m. Sunday Masses. Sing solo, in a duet, or in a small group.

Instrumentalists

Instrumental playing can be a wonderful addition to the music at any weekend mass. Play with keyboard accompaniment, or with the band and the 9:30 Choir.
