"What motivates the pastoral musician? Why does he or she give so much time to the service of the church at prayer? The only answer can be that the church musician is first a disciple and then a minister. The musician belongs first of all to the assembly; he or she is a worshiper above all. Like any member of the assembly, the pastoral musician needs to be a believer, needs to experience conversion, needs to hear the Gospel and so proclaim the praise of God. Thus, the pastoral musician is not merely an employee or volunteer. He or she is a minister, someone who shares faith, serves the community, and expresses the love of God and neighbor through music.

Musicians: Our Guitar players for the 9:00 Mass come from our school, our graduates and others interested in playing the Guitar/instruments at Mass.

        The 9:00 Guitar Choir has a "BAND" mass on the Fifth Sunday of the month. 

   If you play an instrument, please give me a call. Sax, trumpet, etc. can be used for Christmas,         Easter, etc.
