Liturgical Music
Music plays an integral part in the liturgical worship at St. Patrick Church. It is a vital and core element that has the power to raise the mind and heart to God. There are various types of musical talent that truly enhance the Mass and other sacred liturgies - from the traditional to the contemporary, our professionally trained personnel will touch your heart.
The music at St. Patrick’s Church features a traditional led worship at the 4pm Mass and 12noon Mass on Weekends and contemporary praise and worship at the 10:30am. 8am and 530pm Masses has a mix of both traditional and contemporary. If you have a desire to “sing a new song” to the Lord and inspire others to do so, we invite you to consider these opportunities to service through the music ministry.
Be a part of the versatile sounds at St. Patrick's Church!
Those with the ability and desire to express their faith through the gift of music will find the various programs in the music ministry to be a rewarding experience for themselves and to those praying with them through song and sound. Regardless of your level of proficiency, we hope you will consider offering your talents in this way to our parish community.
