Music Ministry

Music ministry is an integral part of the liturgy in which the assembly is invited to pray, evangelize, and draw closer to God and His church. Whether your talent is in singing or playing an instrument, all are welcome and invited to lead the assembly in sung prayer! All ministries are open at any time, feel free to drop in on a rehearsal or speak to our directors throughout the year. Contact Sr. Carol Stevens, Director of Music, at cstevens@sjnstcharles.org, for more information.
