Welcome To The Music Ministry

“The musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art. The main reason for this preeminence is that, as sacred song closely bound to the text, it forms a necessary or integral part of the solemn liturgy.” (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, #112)

As this statement makes clear, the Vatican Fathers held in very high regard the place of music in Liturgy, echoing the concerns of their predecessors, particularly Pius X. At St. Patrick we share that concern and have fostered a ministry which speaks to it in many ways. Every parishioner has a role in this ministry, whether from the pew or the choir loft. We hope that the information given here will help you find your place.

Stephan P. Barnicle, Director of Music Ministry
