About This Ministry

Music Ministry at Sacred Heart is an integral part of our worship.  We believe that our prayer life is enhanced and nourished through the sung word. Music Ministry involves every member of our parish community, as all are called to participate in liturgy through song.

To add solemnity and beauty to our liturgies through music, there are four choirs who help enhance the song of our community:
Adult Choir
 Adult Choir members lead the congregation in sung prayer. Our Adult Choir sings from September through June at the 9:30am Sunday Mass, and major liturgies and Para liturgies throughout the season.
Hand Bell Choir
 The Hand Bell Choir is designed for those who might like to participate in the Music Ministry of the parish in a way other than singing. We have three octaves of Malmark hand bells. While it is helpful to have some music reading ability, it is absolutely not necessary since all music is color coded for those who cannot read music.
Folk Group
The Folk Group enhances the liturgy through music and song with a contemporary flair during the 5:00pm Saturday Vigil Mass from August through June.
Children's/
Middle Choir
For the youth of our parish in Grades 3 through 8, the Children's Choir sings one Sunday each month at the 9:30am Mass.
