The Ministry of Music provides music during weekend Masses, Holy Days, weddings, funerals and Reconciliation services. Parishioners are invited to share their musical talents with the rest of the congregation through this ministry as Organists, Keyboardist, or other instrument [guitar, violin, handbells, etc.], Cantor, and/or choir member.
IC Adult Choir is a dedicated group of singers that meet at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesdays and at 10:00 a.m. on Sundays for rehearsals at Immaculate Conception Church and typically minister the 10:30 a.m. Mass three times per month, as well as major feasts, holy days, and sacramental celebrations. High school age and above welcome!
IC Resurrection Choir provides a beautiful ministry of leading music at parish funerals. Rehearsals are on Tuesdays 8:45 a.m., two times per month at Immaculate Conception Church. Flexibility in your morning schedule is needed for this ministry.
IC Bell Choir is an ensemble which rehearses on Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. at Immaculate Conception Church throughout the year and provides service music according to our knowledge base and availability of members. A firm commitment is needed for each performance. No music reading ability is needed.
Nativity Jubilation Choir welcomes all singers. The ability to read music is not necessary, just a willingness to have fun, laugh, pray, and sing with a great group of people who enjoy making music together. Rehearsals are usually held Thursdays 7:00 p.m. at Nativity Church and lead singing a few Sundays each month at the 9:00 a.m. Mass and Feast Days.
Cantor leads the congregation in singing. The ability to read music is a plus, since some music is learned immediately prior to Mass. Vocal training is helpful but not required. Cantors’ may choose what Masses they prefer and have a choice of dates to suit their schedule.
Instrumentalist of all instruments [piano, pipe organ, guitar, flute, etc.] are welcome. If you play decently, we can use you. Music reading ability is needed and if you can improvise, even better. Scheduling is based on need and instrumentalist’s schedule.
