Music Ministry

​

Music is an integral part of the celebration of the Mass; it has been since the very earliest days of the Church. Even today, seldom as it may be realized, the ideal is a fully sung Mass, in which all of the prayers, readings, verses, and responses are chanted or sung. Skillful singing glorifies God; dignifies the Mass in a way that cannot be reproduced by any other means; and renders the prayers and readings more memorable and moving. Catholics with musical knowledge, musicianship, and singing ability have a certain obligation to use these skills and talents for the greater glory of God and the edification of their brothers and sisters. At St. John's, we offer many venues for the exercise of these skills and talents.
