Do you like to sing? Would you like to consider offering your gift of
song by being a cantor at Mass? If you would like to discuss what is
needed to be a cantor, and what is available to help you become one, I
would enjoy speaking with you. Although most of our cantors have
developed musical skills and confidence by singing in one of our choral
groups, such as the Adult Choir, before taking on the role of cantor,
there are many ways to prepare you for this ministry. Whatever your
musical experience is, let’s discuss the appropriate path for you to
enjoyment of this rewarding role.

MUSIC MINISTRY NOTES
Want to share
your love of music or musical talents by participating in music
ministry, a hallmark of our parish? Here are a few ways that you can
become involved.
The Sacred
Heart Adult Choir always welcomes new members! In addition to singing regularly at the 11:00 Mass
at Sacred Heart, the outreach piece of our mission takes us beyond the
walls of the church. In addition to singing at our church fairs and
pancake breakfasts with our friends from St. Jude, and musical visits to
shut-ins at local nursing care facilities and prisons this past season,
we were delighted to again be asked to provide music for the Clam
Festival Interfaith Service this past July. Plans are underway to
perform the musical Celebrate Life in November. Rehearsals are
Wednesdays at 7pm in the church, begining on September 9. We are hoping
for new members for all voice parts. If you would like to be part of
this special ministry, please stop by or feel free to call Ron Siviski,
our Director, at 846-6020.
St. Jude Choir:
The choir at St. Jude sings regularly at the 9:30 Mass….and beyond the
sanctuary walls, as well. Our outreach is especially meaningful to
us. If you love to sing or play an instrument, and want to
share your gift as well as have some fun with fellow parishioners and
cluster members, please join us! Rehearsals are Sunday mornings at
8:15am. If you would like to participate or need more information,
please do not hesitate to contact Sharyl Webster at 865-9167. We would
enjoy having you join our music ministry!
