CHOIRS and ENSEMBLES – 2022 demonstrates increased participation since the COVID outbreak in 2020.  Numbers continue to improve as fears lessen and confidence heightens.  We encourage participation through steady communication and the implementation of safe policy and procedures.

Nine groups/ensembles perform every week.  Rehearsals are conducted weekly and span throughout the entire year.  Music is provided for both the Main Church and the Mission.

The Music Ministry produces all worship aids and programs in-house on a daily/weekly basis for all liturgies and events.

The liturgy and music have and will continue to evolve to a more traditional sacred and high Mass setting with emphasis on instruction and understanding/comprehension of the Mass and purpose/intention.
