Mixed Choir
The Adult Choir currently sings seasonally for Christmas, Holy Week and Easter. You may sing at one season or both, as your schedule allows. Advance notices come out in the bulletin alerting parishioners when rehearsals begin. Anyone high school age or older is welcome to join. Families who wish to sing together are encouraged, allowing Jr. High Students to sing with their parents/guardians.
Cantors
Cantors lead the congregation in singing at most of the Sunday liturgies and special liturgies throughout the church year. Good vocal skills and knowledge of music, including the keyboard, are important for this ministry. Cantors meet once a month to review the music chosen for the liturgies.
Musicians/Accompanists
We sometimes need musicians to provide instrumental music to support the worshipping congregation and choirs at liturgies and special events throughout the year. Volunteers are always welcome to share their talents on keyboards, guitar, flute, strings, brass, percussion, etc. A minimum of 5 years of experience with an instrument is necessary to audition for this aspect of ministry.
Youth Choir
The Youth Choir sings at the 10:30 a.m. Sunday Mass each week during the school year from Mid-September to Mid-June. They also participate at special liturgies during the year with an emphasis on Christmas and Easter. Children of all ages are welcome to join. They rehearse on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 p.m. The choir is open to boys and girls.
SpiritFire Music Ministry:

The Lord calls each of us to minister to the needs of others. We are all unique with our own special gifts and talents. We started SpiritFire Music Ministry in 1990 in order to share God's love and message of hope through music and Scripture. and serve weekly at the 5:00 Mass on Saturday night with music, praise and worship here at St. Denis.
