Cantors

Function
Cantors lead the sung worship of the parish community, both at Masses with choir and without. The cantor proclaims the psalm from the ambo, brings the community in on sung acclamations and hymns, and often sings a solo work at the preparation of the gifts.

Structure
Cantors are currently organized by the Director of Music Ministries, Shaun Garner.

Member Profile
Cantors must have pleasant voices, easy to follow and understand, abilities in keeping track of the ritual and music placement, and in learning new music fairly easily. Specialized training is provided. Auditions are required.

Time Commitment
Cantors sign up for various liturgies two months at a time. By sharing the load, no one person is overwhelmed with having to assist at every liturgy or every weekend. Cantors generally attend practice on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. or at a pre-scheduled time with Shaun. It is most helpful to sing in the choir, but is not a necessary requirement. 

Term of Service
flexible
