Stewardship of time and talent are the foundations of a successful Music Ministry. Both of these elements are required. The first, being talent, the next time.
Our Music Ministry Program welcomes those who wish to serve the Catholic Community of Saint Francis of Assisi. The opportunities are open to singers and musicians. One can serve as a singer in the one of our choirs, or as a cantor at our various liturgies. One can also serve as a musician: flautist, brass player, stringed instruments (guitar, cello, etc), percussionist, or pianist/organist. This ministry welcomes ALL!
For more information, please contact Gene Pipas.
