Music Ministry and this Sunday's Music Selections

PLEASE SHARE YOUR MUSICAL TALENTS!

Philosophy

The Music Ministry of Saint Catherine and the Church of the Transfiguration exists to enhance and edify the public prayer of the gathered community through combining our God-given gifts of music for His glory. The Music Ministry consists of generous, willing parishioners who volunteer their musical talents at various liturgies and paraliturgies. Although musical ability is necessary, no audition is required. To join the Music Ministry contact Pam McInerney at St. Catherine and Sue Wallace at Transfiguration.

 

Requirements

  • Must have enthusiasm, spirit and a reverent sense of the mystery of the liturgy.
  • Must desire to give back to God, the measure of talent He has given you.
  • Must have a "Heart commitment" to the group (meaning that occasional necessary missed rehearsals are a given-especially for the sake of time with one’s family).

Instrumentalists are needed for special occasions. God has truly blessed our parishes with many wonderfully talented musicians. We encourage you to consider offering your God–given talent to Transfiguration’s music ministry. Oh, by the way, NO audition is required.
