The purpose of Pastoral Music is two-fold. First, it provides an opportunity for parishioners who have musical talents and abilities to offer their gift of time and talent, which is truly their treasure, in service of their parish and their Lord. Second, it enhances or deepens the worship experience in order to assist the assembly in entering more easily into “full, conscious, active participation” in the liturgy, “the work of the people.”
The length of commitment for these choirs is one year at a time. Rehearsals begin in September and run through May. This commitment is renewable each year. |
