OPPORTUNITIES
Cantors
The ministry of the Cantor is to lead the congressional singing during the Liturgy, sing the Psalm & Gospel Acclamation verses, and provide prelude and reflection music. Cantors are expected to arrive at least 1/2 an hour prior to their scheduled Mass to go over the lineup. Extra help is gladly provided by the music director when necessary.
A Cantor should have a heart to glorify God, have a pleasing voice, be able to somewhat read music, and have the confidence to sing solo as well as lead the congregation.
