Ordinary Time Hymns

Ordinary Time Schedule 1,  2,  3,  4

Ministers of Music at the Cathedral of St. Mary--whether they be cantors, organists, instrumentalists, choir directors, choir members, or those in ensembles--are committed to excellence. They foster not only a sense of mystery and awe in worship but also a sense of joy. There are a number of opportunities offered at the Cathedral for people to share their musical gifts and thus to respond to the call to serve the church. Talent shared and the gift of music, both given and received, enrich the lives of all who worship.

For more information or with questions about any of our opportunites for music ministry, please contact Patrick Stolz, Music Director at the parish office. All musicians over the age of 18 are asked to attend the available Safe Envirnoment Training class.
