Liturgical

Under the patronage of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music, we are excited to offer a new Children’s Choir addition to our music ministry is for any students between 3rd and 8th grade who wish to offer their voices to the Lord, and to our sacred liturgies!

Season one is centered around Lent and Easter with weekly rehearsals that crescendo into a spectacular Liturgy at the 9AM Easter Sunday Mass.

This is an excellent opportunity for young musicians to make new friends, learn new melodies and serve the Lord with their gifts!

Rehearsals will be held Tuesday evenings from 6:30-7:30pm. The $25 registration fee will cover music materials for the singers. Questions? Email Johnny Philp at jphilp@ap.church

The handbells, 3 Octaves of Schulmerich bells, are rung by 12 persons with music reading skills. The bell choir can be heard on the 2nd Sunday of the month, at 11:00am Mass, and the 4th Saturday of the month, at 5:00pm Mass. We are in need of some alternative ringers, so if you are interested, please contact the music Ministry Staff!

The Cantor is the psalmist, the animator, the teacher of new songs, hymns and refrains – one of the principal enablers of the assembly’s sung prayer. Email us for more information. 

Wind, Stringed & Brass instruments  can add beauty to the Liturgy, especially during the high seasons of the year.
