What are Liturgical Music Ministries?
The music at St. Katharine's involves the efforts of many:
† Liturgical Assembly: The goal, of course, of any successful program for music in worship is that everyone sing and love to sing.
† Adult Choir sings on Sundays at the 9:30 Mass, September through June.
† Cantors lead congregational singing on a rotational basis.
† Instrumentalists assist at Liturgy as needed.
† Contemporary Choir sings twice a month.
† Children's Choir sings one Sunday a month.
† Support Staff - many people behind the scenes help make the music run smoothly: computer graphic technicians, secretarial assistance, librarians, in addition to the music director.
What are volunteers asked to do?
† Adult Choir meets on Tuesday evenings from 7:15 to 9:00 PM and sings at the 9:30 AM Mass on Sunday and at other important liturgies throughout the year. Ability to read music is helpful, and love of music and liturgy is essential.
† Cantors lead the assembly in song at all parish liturgical celebrations. They rehearse with the Music Director according to individual schedule and need. A pleasant, clear voice, ability to stand in front of the assembly, and good presence are necessary.
† Instrumentalists - guitar, woodwind, brass, string players embellish the music of the liturgy. Both regular and occasional rehearsals are necessary.
† Contemporary Choir sings contemporary, folk and gospel style hymns. Open to anyone from 7th grade to adult. There are two rehearsals a month.
† Youth Choir sings once a month , with rehearsals every Wednesday afternoon from October to June. Children in grades 2-8 from any school may join. In February, first graders may also join.
† Clerical Support includes anyone interested in helping with work on the computer for liturgy programs and booklets. Knowledge of publishing programs and scanners is most helpful.
Check the Calendar under Choir for rehearsals and meetings.
