Cantors

The ministry of the Cantor is to lead the congressional singing during the Liturgy and to sing the Psalm verses, as well as the Gospel Acclamation verses.

Cantors rehearse approximately every six weeks at 7:00 p.m. on Thursdays. Rehearsals are recorded, and a CD is then given to each cantor to use for future reference. Cantors are also expected to be at Mass early enough to go over the Psalm with the organist, as well as any other music that may need attention. Extra help is gladly provided by the music director when necessary!

A cantor should have a pleasing voice, be able to somewhat read music, and have the confidence to sing solo and lead congregational singing. (Choir membership is encouraged for cantors, and is a great way to prepare for cantoring!).
