WORSHIP MUSIC
The author of the 49th Psalm developed a wise practice as he contemplated the problems he faced. He wrote, "I will solve my riddle to the music of the harp" (Psalm 49:4). He found encouragement to meet life's difficulties by getting involved with music. Good Liturgical Music recalls scripture and helps guide us on our journey with the Lord. All who have been given the gift of music are encouraged to become involved in the Liturgical Music Program at St. Margaret Mary. The ability to read music or previous choral experience is not necessary for choir participation.
Funeral Choir: Rehearses 1st and 3rd Wednesdays from 9:30 - 10:30 am and leads the congregation in sung prayer at parish funerals. This is an excellent opportunity for all who are available during the day to become involved in a most important ministry on an as-needed basis.
Parish Choir: Rehearses every Wednesday evening at
7:00 pm and ministers to the congregation at the 10:30 am Sunday Mass. This choir welcomes anyone high school age and older.
Contemporary Ensemble: Rehearses Monday evenings at 7:30 pm and ministers to the congregation at the 8:30 am Sunday Mass. This ensemble welcomes anyone high school age and older.
Cantor: Rehearses 1/2 hour before Mass with the Director of Music Ministries and ministers at the 4:30 pm Saturday Mass. Because of the uniqueness of this position the ability to read music and/or previous vocal experience is helpful.
Instrumentalists: Anyone willing to serve the parish as an instrumentalist is encouraged to discuss that talent with the Director of Music Ministries. Your participation can be as-needed, seasonally, or weekly.
Children's Choir: At present the Children's choir is offered on a seasonal basis. Check the parish bulletin for information.
To discuss your involvement in any music ministry contact Dale Foley,
Director of Music Ministries, in person after any Mass,
email dtfoley@stmargaretmaryparish.org or telephone, (513) 742-2173.
