St. Michael  Parish

Music Ministry
 

           
  “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as in all wisdom
you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns,
and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.”
Colossians 3:16

 
St. Michael Parish enjoys a very diverse music ministry with styles of liturgical music for everyone’s taste from traditional to contemporary. We have two music ensembles that regularly lead the congregation at our weekend masses.
 
Our Choir has a diverse repertoire highlighting many classic choral works. In addition they sing choral pieces created by many of today’s new composers and arrangers. They rehearse Thursday evenings two to three times each month and sing twice a month at the 9:00 and 4:00 masses. Currently our choir is singing in groups of six until we can all get back safely into the choir loft.
 
Our 11:00 mass music is led by our Praise Group. This keyboard and guitar led ensemble leads and enhances our liturgies with contemporary selections written in the “Praise and Worship” style. The Praise Group rehearses on Tuesday evenings.

Additionally, Cantors sing or chant the Responsorial Psalm, and may sing or chant other proper parts, such as the Alleluia verse, at Mass. 
 
If you feel God calling you to be part of this very active ministry as a vocalist or instrumentalist please reach out to our Music Director, John Kelly, at 603.778-0614 or email him at Music@stmichaelparish.org for more information.
