Music
is a language that communicates the joy and hope of Christian life!
We encourage you to share
your musical ability, no matter how great or small, so that combined
with God's Holy Spirit, music can become a powerful experience in
worship at St. Christopher's Catholic Church.
MISSION STATEMENT
It is our hope that the Lord Jesus Christ will be
glorified through liturgy and music at St. Christopher’s Catholic
Church. We pray that those called by God to participate in the music
program will be instruments of the Holy Spirit, and will humbly share
their gifts or talents.
CANTOR: The
Cantor is the leader of song at services when a choir is not present.
The cantor must be a member of one of the choirs of St. Christopher’s
Parish. Cantor rehearsals vary in time and place. All cantors will
meet together periodically rehearse and share constructive ideas to
better serve the parish as worship leaders.

song this group sings two, three and four part harmony, choral
arrangements, to unison singing through-out the choir season

The first four or five rehearsals are held on Wednesdays 7:00 p.m. to
8:00 p.m. in the church, starting in the fall.
