Parish Music Ministries

A cantor in the Catholic Church is a single person or persons within a parish who act(s) as a music leader, Psalm verse singer, and a general facilitator of the congregation’s worship experience.
The overall goal of the cantor is to guide the congregation in worship. Oftentimes, this includes leading the choir members as well.
The secondary goal is to be a good example of worshiping through song. Especially during the singing of the Psalms, a cantor should remain prayerful and dedicated to delivering the liturgy properly.Contact:

Members of the choir lead the congregation in sung responses including the responsorial Psalm, hymns, prayers and Acclamations at Mass. The choir facilitates active participation in the Mass.
