Music Ministry

  
 
Good music immeasurably enhances all liturgies. As St. Augustine reminds us, “Singing is like praying twice.” Becoming involved in this ministry as a singer or instrumentalist is a wonderful experience that illustrates the Church’s reminder that “great importance should be attached to the use of music in the celebration of the Mass.” Please contact our Music Director at the Parish Office for more information.

The Music Department at Sacred Heart Church has many opportunities for our parishioners to glorify God through their gift of song. You are invited to read about the different groups and are asked to consider joining one of them.

Some FAQ:		  
  Do you have to read music?
No. while reading music is a skill which could greatly assist you with your ministry, it is not required.

Do I need to audition?
Auditioning is an event which can cause a lot of undue stress. The audition, usually, is just an opportunity to sing a well-known song in the choir room. You do not need to audition if you wish to participate in the Parish Choir.

Can I miss rehearsals and still be in a group?
Usually, the answer to this question is no. It is during the group session (the rehearsal) where one learns the notes, phrasing, and shaping of the song. This can only happen when working together during the rehearsal.
