The St. Luke Music Ministry, directed by Rob Shott, is a group of volunteer vocalists and skilled instrumentalists from the parish. The Music ministry supports and enhances our liturgical prayer through music. If you love to sing and have some ability to read music, or are an experienced instrumentalist, please join our music ministry family and immerse yourself in the rich liturgical season of our Church. Please contact Rob Schott at [email protected]
A no-stress audition with the Director of Music as well as regular attendance at Parish liturgies and rehearsals, is required. Members of this ministry commit themselves to service at liturgies as part of the liturgical team.
Adult Choir
The Adult Choir has been singing together for many decades. We lead the congregational singing and provide choral music weekly from mid-September to mid-June, on Sundays at the 11:30 am Mass, and also sing at special liturgies throughout the year, including Christmas Eve, the major liturgies of the Paschal Triduum, special Feasts and Holy Days. We rehearse on Thursdays at 7 pm in the Music Ministry Room (MMR).
Contemporary Choir (Guitar Group)
Our Guitar group sings at the 9:30 Mass every Sunday from September-July. We have guitars, bass, keyboard, flute, clarinet, violin and singers to lead the congregation in a more contemporary selection of music. Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings three times a month in the Music Ministry Room
Teen Choir & Instrumentalists
CYO Choir
The parish CYO Choir sings at the CYO Mass the first Sunday of the month (September - June). The choir is comprised of students in grades 5-8 from the many schools our parishioners attend. They enjoy singing together, developing their vocal skills and leading the congregation in prayerful worship. Through singing, our CYO Choir members share their God-given talents with the community. We have two weekly rehearsals before the First Sunday of the month, as well as meeting at 8:45 am the morning of the CYO Mass.
Cantors
Cantors lead the congregational singing, and are responsible for the Responsorial Psalm and Gospel Acclamation during the weekend liturgies. Cantors are chosen by the Director of Music based on their vocal, musical, and leadership skills, as well as availability. Cantors are normally scheduled on a rotating basis. Regular attendance at liturgies, periodic group training sessions, individual training/rehearsals as needed, and personal preparation are required.
Instrumentalists
Instrumentalists are skilled Parish musicians who serve on a regular basis and/or at special liturgies. All instrumentalists must be approved by the Director of Music. Regular attendance at liturgies for familiarity with Parish repertoire, attendance at rehearsals and personal preparation are required.
