"It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praise to your name, Most High, to proclaim your kindness at dawn and your faithfulness throughout the night, with ten-stringed instrument and lyre, with melody upon the harp." (Psalm 92:2-4)

Mission Statement/Purpose
Individuals who are proficient on string, woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments are welcomed and encouraged to play for weekend and Feast Day Masses. Instrumentalists may play as soloists, as part of a small ensemble, or may accompany the Celebration Singers and the Schola Cantorum.
Major Accomplishments
We currently have several instrumentalists who enhance our musical celebration at Mass on a weekly basis. These include a clarinetist and a guitarist who regularly play for the 5:15pm Vigil Mass, and several percussionists and guitarists who regularly accompany the Celebration Singers at the 9:15am Mass. At the 11:15am Mass, the Schola Cantorum is occasionally joined by string quartet, brass trio, tympani, trumpet, flute, and oboe. Many of our instrumentalists who play for our weekend Masses also play for our Feast Day Masses.
