We are currently not in session, but we would like to re-start this important facet of music ministry. if your child is interested in participating, please contact Kim Allen for more information.

The primary role of the St. Mary’s Praise Band is to offer a more contemporary style of worship through both song selection and instruments, including acoustic guitar, bass guitar, cajon, and piano. We would like to extend a special invitation to St. Mary’s youth (junior high and up) to consider participating in this ministry, which is also open to adults.

St. Mary's Music Ministry offers opportunities to those who are skilled in the art of instrumental accompanying. Instrumentalists, such as organists, pianists, guitarists, and perhaps others, are needed to accompany cantor, choir, and congregation during the celebration of Mass and other liturgies.This ministry role is for skilled accompanists, and an informal audition is required.

Supporting Instrumentalists
St. Mary's Music Ministry offers additional opportunities for those who are instrumentalists and would be utilized in a supporting role, such as violin, trumpet, saxophone, flute, drums, and others. The Supporting Instrumentalist role would typically be utilized on special occasions or seasonally, such as Christmas, Easter, Advent, solemnities, and sacramental celebrations. An informal audition is required. If you are interested in becoming a Supporting Instrumentalist, please contact Kim Allen.
 
Sound System Tech
St. Mary Music Ministry has a new opportunity for those who have an interest or talent in the area of audio technology.  The sound system tech ensures the integrity of the audio acoustics in the church during our weekend Masses by running the sound system’s remote access iPad. A good “ear” for appropriate volume, balanced sound, and background noise, as well as an aptitude in using this technology are needed. If you may be interested in this opportunity, please contact Kim Allen. Training will be provided.
