We are truly blest with a parish community that makes such beautiful music. Through each person's participation, we feed and nourish one another's faith. When we take part in congregational singing, we all become a part of the music ministry. For those of you who would like to become more involved in our music ministry, we extend an invitation to join one of our choirs. Come share in the fun, fellowship and joy of giving your gift to the Lord!
