Music Ministry

Our Ministry

The Cathedral has a place for every musician, from the beginner to the experienced professional. We give praise with all kinds of styles of music and as a diverse community, our ministry embraces everything that serves our liturgies and other events well. Because we are the mother-church, our service is not just to the parish but to the whole diocese, and so a musician has many options for the kind and amount of participation.

Cathedral Choirs

Because our Sunday Masses each have their own unique style, we currently have four different choirs to choose from. We also have a Diocesan Choir and Schola for special diocesan liturgies.

Cantors

There is a special role for soloists with the ability to inspire singing from a worshiping assembly. The liturgical soloist acts as cantor of the Psalm and Gospel verse as well as the leader of songs and acclamations in the absence of a choir.

Instruments

Musicians who have proficiency with an instrument are always welcome to participate in liturgies. There are professional opportunities as well, for special feasts and for many diocesan celebrations.
