Music Ministry

The role of Ministers of Music at St. Philip the Apostle is to enhance a celebration, help mark its more important components, and enable a rhythm of festivity for days, weeks and years.

Adult Choir*  Made up of parishioners who have a love of music and pleasant singing voices.  Members of the adult choir will be accountable to a weekly rehearsal, and participation at 9:30 am Sunday liturgy is required.

Cantors  Lead the assembly in sung prayer. Gifted with a pleasant singing voice, they have a strong commitment to weekly formation and personal preparation. Cantors aid the assembly at Mass, Evening Prayer, and other sacramental celebrations. 

CHILDREN'S CHOIR*  Open to all boys and girls in grades 2-5.  The children's choir will enhance our sung prayer at the 11:30 am Sunday liturgy every other week beginning in November 2008.  Rehearsals are 10:50-11:20 am prior to singing at Mass.  Contact Bridget Bem for more information.
