“The faithful who gather together to await the Lord’s coming are instructed by the Apostle Paul to sing together psalms, hymns and inspired songs” – Colossians 3:16
Liturgical song is the sign of the heart’s joy, thus Saint Augustine says rightly “To sing belongs to lovers.” Music is at the heart of each and every celebration of the mass, the scriptures call us to it. New members are always welcomed to participate in any aspect of the parish’s diverse music ministry.
