ANNUNCIATION OF THE LORD LITURGICAL MINISTRIES
MUSIC MINISTRY
Music is an important part of our parish's spiritual life. Music is a part of all weekend liturgies, Holy Days, as well as other parish family celebrations and events. Our music ministry is very involved in participation at Diocesan celebrations such as Renew, Ordinations, and Chrism masses. We have hosted and we encourage attendance at music oriented workshops and clinics. Members of our choirs and instrumentalists have been able to further their music education through the help of the Diocesan Grace Fund.
The Formal Choir rotates through each of the three weekend liturgies. The Formal Choir is accompanied by organ and flute, but any other instrumentalist is gladly welcome for special liturgies throughout the Church year.
The Children's Choir is open to children in grades 4 through 8. This choir sings traditional, Gospel, and contemporary music and is scheduled at a weekend liturgy once a month.
The Teen Choir is open to youth in grades 7 through 12th. This choir also is scheduled at a weekend liturgy once a month.
A Cantor or songleader leads the music at liturgies when a choir is not singing. The songleader is accompanied by organ, piano, or guitar. The Accompanist and Cantor/Songleader must have some music experience in liturgies in order to lead the congregation confidently and to facilitate congregational participation in singing at liturgies. If more information is needed contact the director of music.
