Welcome to St. Patrick Music Ministry!
The St. Patrick music ministry uplifts and enriches parish gatherings with a diverse repertoire of spiritual and celebrative music. Our singers and instrumentalists lead the community in song at Masses and other celebrations; encouraging unity, prayerfulness, joy, and a deeper spirituality within our parish family. The music ministry is open to all ages. Basic choral-singing instruction is available for beginners who would like to try choral ministry or cantoring. All intermediate and accomplished instrumentalists are welcome to serve in the music ministry.
