Our Music Ministry program welcomes all those who wish to serve the Catholic Community of Our Lady of Lourdes. Opportunities are open to singers and musicians. One can serve as a singer in one of our choirs, or as a cantor at our various liturgies. One can also serve as a musician: flutist, brass player, stringed instruments (guitars, cellist etc.) percussionist, or pianist/keyboardist. All are welcome!

Music ministry is a vitally important component of the liturgy. Although our community is blessed with a talented, experienced and dedicated choir, we are always looking for and welcome new members. Weekly rehearsals are from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. on Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings at 8:15 a.m. warm-up and Mass at 9:00 a.m.
This is a new choir as of last winter. If you can match pitch but don’t have choir experience, this is the choir for you. All are welcome. Rehearsals are on Tuesdays from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. This choir sings at the 11:30 a.m. Mass with an 11:00 a.m. warm up.
Our Lady of Lourdes Church has 3-octaves of Malmark hand bells. Rehearsals are held on Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:15 p.m.
This group is contacted by Email when a funeral is scheduled. There are no rehearsals. Members come to the funeral service, sit near the cantor and give support for the congregational singing.
All string players, brass players, winds and guitarists are welcomed. If you are competent on an instrument, come and share your gifts with the congregations. Most of the songs in our hymnal have instrumental parts.
