Members of the choir help lead the assembly in prayer through their musical gifts.  The primary role is to add energy to the worship of the entire congregation by embellishing the song with harmonies and choral singing. We rehearse on Wednesday evenings from 7:00-8:30 pm. The Choir sings throughout the year at varying weekend Masses.  In addition, the choir provides special music during seasonal celebrations including Christmas and Easter. Please contact Shaun if you are interested.

Maybe singing isn’t your “thing.”  Would you still like to contribute to the Music Ministry at Corpus? Sounds like ringing handbells is the thing for you!!!!  We are looking for more members to join our ensemble. Although no prior ringing experience is necessary, good musical skills and an ability to read music is required. The bell choir rehearses on Wednesday evenings from 6:00-7:00 pm in the church. Please contact Shaun if you are interested.

 

Do you have a child who is interested in singing?  Would they like to help enhance the Liturgy here at Corpus? The Youth Choir sings once a month at weekend liturgies. Any youth currently in 3rd grade or older are invited to attend rehearsals on Thursdays from 3:45-4:45pm during the school year. If your child would be interested in singing once a month, please contact Shaun.  

 

The ministry of the parish cantor is to bring the song of the assembled community to life! Cantors' primary roles are to encourage the congregation to sing and to proclaim the Word of God through the Psalms. Cantors lead prayer at all the liturgies. Cantors must have a pleasant singing voice, sing on pitch, strong but not overpowering, good sense of rhythm and tempo. We are looking for people with a strong presence to relay the word of God through song. I know there are many out there who have been waiting to be asked - so help me out by turning to your neighbor after church and tell them, “You need to see Shaun!” I’m here to help continue to develop the cantor for the Sunday liturgy. We have meetings once a quarter to go over new techniques and music and help each other grow.  We are always looking for more cantors and if you feel you have the gift of cantoring, we’d love to hear from you!

 

Instrumentalists provide musical accompaniment for the cantors and choir at weekend Masses and special celebrations and enhance the overall sound of music during Liturgy. While people of various levels of ability are welcome to share their talents, a certain level of proficiency is necessary. As with accompanists, there is a wide range of possibilities for brass, stringed and wind instrumentalists to be involved in the Corpus Christi Music Ministry.   There will be required rehearsals for instrumentalists around Christmas, the Triduum, and Easter.  If you’re interested in lending your talents to the Music Ministry here at Corpus, contact Shaun for more information.
