Music Ministries

“The faithful who gather together to await the Lord’s coming are instructed by the Apostle Paul to sing together psalms, hymns and inspired songs”  –  Colossians 3:16

Liturgical song is the sign of the heart’s joy, thus Saint Augustine says rightly “To sing belongs to lovers.”  Music is at the heart of each and every celebration of the mass, the scriptures call us to it.  New members are always welcomed to participate in any aspect of the parish’s diverse music ministry.

Choirs

ADULT CHOIRS

There are two traditional choirs in our Parish. One choir rotates the weekend Masses at St. Ferdinand and St. Gregory, and the second choir primarily sings at Holy Redeemer. The choirs combine for several liturgical celebrations throughout the year. The choir generally sings from the weekend after Labor Day to Memorial Day. Both choirs rehearse Thursday evenings from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm.
