Faith in Action

Our music ministry exists first and foremost to glorify God. It is formed in the image of Christ and the traditions of his Church. Our primary role is in the context of the liturgy through sung prayer. We strive for musical excellence knowing that beauty is a gift from God, and that good music helps us to encounter the divine. Whether you are an accomplished musician or an enthusiastic amateur, there is a place for you in our music ministry. Though we strive for excellence, you’ll find that each ensemble provides a welcoming and supportive environment.
