Music Ministry
Mission
The Mission of the St. Aloysius Music Ministry is to help the assembly to express, share, nourish and strengthen their faith by providing music that helps to create and uplifting, prayerful worship experience.
Sing to the Lord!
Please become part of our Music Ministry by singing or playing in a choir! New members are always welcome. Share your gifts for the glory of the Lord, enhance the liturgy through song and encourage the congregation to sing. You will learn new skills, develop your talents and increase confidence though practice, workshops and retreats. If you are new to singing or never been a choir member before, dedication, commitment and enthusiasm are the only requirements!
