3. Kids Choir - is back for Fall 2023. All children, grades 3 through 8 are invited to join in the preparation and execution of the music for the 5 pm Christma Eve liturgy. It is the goal of this music ministry to provide a space for children to learn good singing habits and vocal techniques while understanding the role of music in the context of worship, and of course, while having some fun! A flyer with more information and the Kid's Choir practice schedule can be found under the Links to Schedules & Information heading.
4. Cantors/song leader -lead the assembly in song at mass. Song leaders need: a working knowledge of music and the structure of the mass, confidence to invite others to sing at appropriate time, ability to learn new music, a reverent spirit, and flexibility to adapt to different situations and timings that occur during mass. Training in how to be an effective cantor will be provided.
5. Auxiliary singers  -assist cantor in leading the assembly in song at mass.  Auxiliary singers do not need to raise hands in invitation but sing the part of the assembly. Auxiliary singers need: a working knowledge of music and the structure of the mass, ability to learn new music, a reverent spirit, and flexibility to adapt to different situations and timing that occur during mass. 
6. Keyboard accompanists  piano and/or organ  -responsible for providing all background music for hymns, songs, and mass music. Primary accompanists must be able to: play music chosen for mass, learn new music, posses a spirit of reverence, know the structure of the mass, and be flexible to adapt to situations and timings that occur during the mass.
7. Other instrumental accompanists -usually instruments that blend well with piano and organ and do not mask the voice of the congregation. These instruments include but are not necessarily limited to trumpet, flute, guitar, string bass, electric bass, violin, viola, and cello.  Instrumentalists need to be high school age and above with a strong working knowledge of their instrument and music in general.  Instrumentalists need to be able to work/play with other members of a group and do so by attending practices with other instrumentalists that are scheduled to play along with them.
