Music Ministry
Music is an integral part of Catholic worship and liturgy. Holy Spirit Church believes that music has a profound effect on the Church’s many liturgical celebrations: from Sunday Mass, through the various Feasts and Solemnities that mark the Catholic year.
Our musicians seek to lead the entire congregation in praising God, through the use of well-loved traditional and newer hymns, and a diverse repertoire of historical and modern music embracing a wide variety of traditions.
You are invited to participate in our music ministry!
I will pray with the spirit, but I will also pray with the mind. I will sing praise with the spirit, but I will also sing praise with the mind. 1 Corinthians 14:15
