Music Ministry

Sacred Heart Parish Music Ministry

1. 1. Our parish Folk Group leads music at the Saturday evening vigil Masses (5:00 pm). The group meets ½ hour before the start of the Mass to review music and learn new music. Singers and instrumentalists are always needed and welcome. We have a special need for a piano player. The ability to read music is necessary for a piano player. The folk group sings throughout the year breaking at the month of July.
   2. The Adult Choir sings on Sundays and at other Liturgies and Paraliturgies from September – June. The Adult Choir welcomes those of high school age and older. During the months of September, October, November and December the Adult Choir will rehearse on Thursday evenings at 8:00 PM. During the months of January-June the Adult Choir will rehearse on Sunday mornings from 10:15AM-11:15 AM. The choir ordinarily sings at the 11:30 am Mass on the first two Sundays of the month and at the 9:00 am on the third and fourth Sundays of the month. Those considering joining are encouraged to come and attend a few rehearsals. If you’re not sure what your voice part is (soprano, alto, tenor, or bass) the music director or our accompanist will be able to help you. The choir sings contemporary and classical repertoire. There is no need for you to be able to read music. New members are always welcome.
   3. The Intergenerational Handbell Choir is for high school age folks and older. The choir will ring at the 4th Sunday of the month at the 11:30 am Mass. Rehearsal will be held on Thursday evenings from 7:00-8:00 pm in church.
   4. The Youth Handbell Choir is for students in grades 4-8. This choir rings on the 3rd Sunday of the month at the 11:30 am Mass. The Youth Handbell Choir rehearses on Thursday afternoons from 3:15-4:15 PM in church.

Our Youth Vocal Choir rehearses on Thursdays 4:30-5:00 pm in church. This vocal choir is for any students in grades 1-8. The Youth Vocal Choir most often sings at the 9:00 am Mass on the first Sunday of the month and for other special liturgies.
