Music Ministry

The Music Ministry of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish exists to glorify God by presenting beautiful music at the Masses and other liturgical events of the parish. The Music Ministry has 4 primary ways of participation:

Solo Cantor:  Cantors are individuals who lead the singing at Masses in which there is no Choir; The ability to learn music on your own time, either through sheet music or singing along with recordings, as well as strong projection and confident vocal tone is required.

Praise Teams: Selected, consistent groups of musicians dedicated to leading music at either the 9AM Sunday Mass or the First Friday Holy Hour. Rehearsals are on an as needed basis.

Traditional Choir: Traditional Choir: Singers with a love for traditional hymnody and choral music who possess solid reading or aural learning skills and the ability to work well in a group setting lead the singing and present choral pieces at the 10:45 Mass and other special Masses throughout the Church year. Rehearsals are on Thursday nights from 7:15-8:45 during the school year. (More Details Here – will be a docx link)

Instrumentalists: Skilled instrumentalists occasionally present a piece at Mass or another liturgy. Whether solo or in an ensemble.

Additionally, musicians of any skill level are invited to the informal “jam band” on Thursday evenings for fellowship in playing a variety of secular, but clean music.
