Cantoring

Cantors lead the assembly in song and encourage all to sing. Anyone interested should contact Cheri Dahlen at the Parish Center.

Instrumentalists are welcome
If you have ever played for Mass before and enjoy doing so, please contact Cheri Dahlen at the Parish Center.

Organ at St. Gregory the Great
​Its M. P. Moller organ was recently restored by Fabry Pipe Organs, Inc. The Church also has a beautiful 6' 4" Boston Grand Piano on the main floor of the Church. This piano was bought in part with donations from parishioners. The choir loft has a Boston upright piano, also bought with generous gifts from parishioners.


Opportunities to participate in the music program include the Parish Choir and as an instrumentalist or cantor.
