Music at St. Paul’s

The music at St. Paul’s Parish is first and foremost dedicated to providing uplifting and inspiring music for the liturgical seasons of the church year. Music selections are carefully chosen to serve both the liturgy and the congregation. Our Catholic tradition is rich with treasures both ancient and modern. The music at St. Paul’s will always reflect a healthy balance of traditional and contemporary music for the Mass.

1. Choir. Adult choir rehearsals for Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter are on Tuesday evenings, 7:00-8:30pm in the church, usually beginning four or five weeks prior to Advent and Lent. No prior experience required.

2. Children’s Choir. Throughout the year the children of the parish will be invited to sing special music for Mass. It is my hope that these special invitations will become the seeds for a Children’s Choir.
We welcome all the youth of the parish to explore their instrumental and vocal aspirations.

4. Organ Music. The organ is rarely silent. We are blessed with an extraordinary instrument that is a joy to play. Repertoire selections are chosen to enhance and illustrate the current liturgical season always ending with Chorale Preludes on the current Masses hymns and songs.

5. Music Library. The chapel now contains a small, but growing, music lending library. The CD collection is from past lecture series. Please feel free to take a CD or two, just sign your name so we know where the CDs are and enjoy them in your car, home, and iPods.
