"Calling all Children and Teens”

We would love to have you singing or playing your instrument in our Youth Music
Ministry, which we are looking to organize at each of our churches this coming fall.

To help us gauge interest, please stop by and introduce yourself to the cantor after Mass or email us via the link to the far right.

We Welcome You
to Join St. John the
Evangelist Music
Music Ministry!

The primary role of our music ministry at St. John’s is to lead our congregation in worship. Our goal is to enrich, inspire, and engage the community in singing hymns and sacred songs in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist and other liturgical celebrations.

Parishioners of all ages, that enjoy singing and playing their instruments are welcome to join us. Our choirs and ensembles meet weekly before Mass to rehearse. Every Mass has a group that needs you!

You do not have to be a professional to join! Many people say that they love to sing but “unless it’s in their shower” they are reluctant. Good news! We are not singing as soloists, but as a team...a team that makes music to worship God. So why not give us a try? Please come and share this special fellowship within our parish community.

If you feel that you are being called to join one of our choirs or ensembles, please speak to Theresa or one of our members before or after Mass.
