The Music Ministry is devoted to enhancing the Mass through songs of praise, thoughtfully sung prayers, and joy-filled music to glorify the Trinity. We especially rejoice in the time that we spend practicing in thankfulness to God for the gift of music in our lives. Many who join the music ministry, do it initially to offer their time and talents, but over time end up making new friends, and the parish becomes a part of their Catholic family.
The adult choir is comprised of members of various ages, talents, and abilities. We welcome anyone who is able to match pitch accurately, with a love for singing, and a heart for God. There are NO auditions, and anyone who is interested is always welcome to drop in for rehearsals. We sing music from Chant to contemporary, from octavos to hymnals, from Bach to Rutter, and we collaborate with various solo instruments and guest artists throughout the year. Rehearsals take place Tuesday nights from 7-8:30pm in the organ/choir loft. We meet every Sunday morning at 9:30am to warm up and and sing for the 10am Mass. The choir is active from September through Pentecost.
The OLMC Christmas Choir is comprised of high school, college and adult singers who are only available to sing in November and December, specifically for the Christmas masses. The choir sings slightly more advanced music, so while reading music is not required, it is preferred and the ability to match pitch is a necessity. Rehearsals begin the second Tuesday in November from 7-7:45pm in the organ loft. On Christmas Day, the choir meets at 9am and sings at the 10am and 12pm masses.
Coro Sine Nomine was established at our organ dedication concert in August 2019 and is open to any singer with previous choral experience who wishes to participate in special concerts or programs throughout the year, outside of regular Mass. The singers must attend most of the rehearsals leading up to the performance in order to participate.
