We gather every Saturday for practice in the Parish Center from 6 to 8 pm. The choir is open for all ages. It is specially formed by families, and together we work to form unity among other families in and out of church. We sing gospel and meditative songs according to the occasion or the pastor requires. Through our music we help people by letting them know Christ and invite them to participate in mass. We have around 60 members in our ministry but we always invite people to join us.

Cantors provide the most visible musical leadership at each celebration. Cantors serve as the psalmist, and lead the sung prayer of the assembly throughout each mass with or without a choir present. Cantors are a vital part of the music ministry and are called upon to serve in many aspects of liturgical life such as funerals, weddings, and other liturgical celebrations throughout the year, as well as Healing and Anointing services, Stations of the Cross and other prayer services.
Cantors need to have an active and positive attitude to assist and lead the congregations to worship God. Cantors are highly encouraged to serve as members of a choir in order to be fully engaged in the music ministry. Cantors are encouraged to be able to learn music on their own.
Cantors primarily lead the assembly in the singing of the psalms during Mass. When a choir is not present, the cantor leads the assembly during all songs. Auditions are required and training is on an individual basis.
Instrumentalists are invited to enhance the worship at Mass through their talents and gifts with or without the presence of a choir.
