Music Ministries at St. Paul Catholic Church

Cantor Ministry-Those serving in the cantor ministry lead the assembly in singing the mass. A cantor has a pleasant soloist voice, excellent musicianship, and exemplifies an attitude of servitude with the desire to minister to God’s church by proclaiming the gospel through music. This ministry is open to junior high age students-through mature adults through audition. We rehearse once a month on the last Tuesday or first Tuesday of the month in the church @ 6:30 p.m. Cantors serve according to their availability.
St. Paul Ringers (Handbell Choir) Intergenerational Handbell Choir is a ministry team of 11 individuals from 5 th grade through mature adults. Attendance at rehearsals is essential due to the cooperative nature of the bell choir. We rehearse at the convenience of the group’s schedule which thus far is Sunday afternoons from 1:15-2:30.
Adult Choir-The adult choir is open to junior high age through mature adults. It is important that you be adept at matching pitches and while the ability to read music is helpful, it is not a requirement for membership.
We have a 10-voice choir that sings in unison as well as 2-3 parts. We welcome new members following a brief evaluation which can be scheduled at your convenience. We rehearse from September-Corpus Christi (June 11 in 2020) on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:00. We sing on a rotation schedule for 4:30, 8:15, and 11:00 masses. Our service to the church is first with an emphasis on the continued development of skill through vocal technique warm-ups and music reading skills.
Schola-A small select group which sings in four parts and is chosen by the music director. They sing for Christmas, Palm Sunday Vigil, Good Friday, and other church feasts or solemnities. Rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings beginning at 6:30 p.m. Contact Heidi at stpaulmusdir@gmail.com if you are interested in auditioning.
