There are often opportunities for instrumentalists to play during liturgy. Strings, horns, woodwind, and percussion instruments have been used to support and embellish the singing of the assembly.
A small ensemble accompanies the Youth choir. We have guitarists, percussion, piano, a bass player and other instruments (these vary from liturgy to liturgy). We are always looking for new members, so if you have the ability to be a part of an ensemble, please let us know. We would love to have you!
This ensemble plays for approximately three noon liturgies a month. We use guitar, percussion, piano, bass and other instruments (these vary from liturgy to liturgy). If you have gifts to share, please let us know.
