Liturgical Music Ministry
“The one who sings, prays twice.”
-St. Augustine
The relationship between worship and the arts in the Catholic Church is inseparable – this is especially true of sacred music. At St. Thomas the Apostle, song and instrumental music flow out of our community’s response to the Holy Spirit, and support our parish liturgies in worship. If you have a gift to sing, or play an instrument (no matter how developed), we welcome you and hope you will join us in “lifting up praises to the Lord” (Psalm 148).
We strongly encourage you to share you interest either by signing up online or by contacting Carolyn Peters for more information about getting involved in the ministries listed below.

"The musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art... it forms a necessary or integral part of the solemn liturgy... [especially in accord with]: beauty expressive of prayer, the unanimous participation of the assembly..., and the solemn character of celebration. In this way [song and music] participate in the purpose of the liturgical words and actions: the glory of God and the sanctification of the faithful."
- Catechism of the Catholic Church nos. 1156, 1157
