OLL Music Ministry
The Music Ministry holds a vital place in our parish, profoundly enhancing the worship experience by supporting and leading the congregation in song. Through their musical gifts, members of the ministry contribute to the beauty and solemnity of the liturgy, helping to deepen the community’s connection to God through singing. The music they provide not only uplifts hearts and minds but also encourages active participation from everyone present, uniting the congregation in a shared expression of faith.
Currently, there are two choirs and the Cantor Ministry at OLL:St. Cecilia’s Singers
Our parish’s SATB choir, singing at the 11:30 a.m. Sunday Mass and on Solemnities from September through early June. Their focus is on SATB Mass parts, hymns, Gregorian chant, and polyphonic sacred music.
Rehearsals: Tuesdays, 7:00–8:30 p.m. and Sundays at 10:45 a.m. (just before the 11:30 Mass)Lyric (Children and Youth Choir)
Lyric sings at the 9:00 a.m. Sunday Mass from September through early June. Young singers may join as early as 4th grade and continue through high school. The repertoire includes Gregorian chant, polyphonic sacred music, and soprano descant parts that ornament the Mass Ordinary. Members of Lyric also have the opportunity to be trained as cantors and serve as leaders of congregational singing.
Rehearsals: Tuesdays, 6:00–7:00 p.m. and Sundays at 8:15 a.m. (just before the 9:00 Mass)
Cantor Ministry
Cantors guide the congregation in sung prayer and proclaim the responsorial parts of the Mass, including the Psalm, antiphons, and other responses. During the choir season (September through early June), cantors are scheduled primarily for the Saturday and Sunday 5:00 p.m. Masses. In the summer, cantors serve at all parish Masses.If you are interested in joining any of OLL’s singing groups, please contact
