Composed of multiple choirs plus cantors, the Music Ministry leads worship services with music and song at all weekend Masses (except 7:30 a.m.). By providing inspirational music that reinforces the Gospel message, the choirs invite more prayerful and active participation in the Liturgy. The Music Ministry performs a complimentary music festival annually.
The Adult Choir’s repertoire includes traditional hymns and liturgical songs, usually with organ or piano accompaniment. This choir rehearses on Thursday evenings from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and is seeking new members (High School age or above). The Praise & Worship music team uses contemporary sacred music to lead the congregation in song. The group is open to high school students and adults. There is a children's choir associated with Saint James School for students in grades 2 through 8 that sings once a month at a Sunday 9:00 a.m. Mass in the church.
