Worship
Music Ministry
Use your gifts to Praise Him! Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. Psalm 33:3
At St. Aloysius, we believe that praise and worship are an active, dynamic, integral link between God and His people. This ministry seeks to serve Him humbly in a spirit of excellence through music and to lead others into His presence so that we glorify God as one body with one voice through one Spirit. Opportunities to be a part of this ministry are available for those gifted with musical ability who have the desire to serve.

This is a new group that we formed this summer. We sang for two summer litugies this past summer at the 5pm mass with the Contemporary Band.

This group consists of some members of the Adult Choir, the Youth Choir, Cantor ministry and new folks are most welcome to join too. Ability to read voice parts is a plus. Look for more information in the bulletin as to when we will pull together to sing for a 5pm Mass on a Sunday night. You are invited to participate and share in the praise and joy of the Lord. Some singing experience may be necessary.
