Music Ministry/
​Ministerio de Música

"Blessed are they who dwell in your house, forever singing your praise." -Ps. 84:4
​

"¡Cuán bienaventurados son los que moran en Tu casa! Continuamente Te alaban." -Salmos 84:4

​​The life of prayer and worship in each of our parish churches is enhanced/enriched with longstanding musical traditions.  Many dedicated singers have served this ministry as cantors, singing in choirs, schola, folk and contemporary ensembles, and/or as instrumentalists.  All are welcoming those willing to sing or play instruments.

La vida de oración y culto en cada una de nuestras iglesias parroquiales se enriquece con tradiciones musicales de gran solera.  Muchos cantantes dedicados han servido en este ministerio como cantores, cantando en coros, schola, folclórico y conjuntos contemporáneos, y / o como instrumentistas.  Todos damos la bienvenida a aquellos dispuestos a cantar o tocar.
