Music Ministry 
“As sacred song united to the words, music forms an integral part of solemn liturgy. Yet the function of music is ministerial; it must serve and never dominate.” This is the premise upon which our liturgical music program is based. Sacred Heart is very fortunate to have an active music ministry of all ages who strive to be ministers of faith and prayer. Our goal is to enhance sung prayer during the liturgy and encourage the community of faithful to worship with song.
Sacred Heart Church
Sacred Heart Church has an adult choir of over thirty men and women who sing in four-part harmony at the 11 o’clock Mass. Members are accepted through an audition with the choir director.
The Sacred Heart Children’s choir consists of children in grades two through eight. There are no auditions for the children and they sing at the 9:30 a.m. family Mass on the second and forth Sundays of each month. Sign-ups for the children’s choir are done at religious education registration. Some are placed on a waiting list until room is available.
Each choir practices once a week. The Sacred Heart adults rehearse on Wednesday evenings from 7:15-9:00 p.m. The children practice on Thursday afternoons from 4-5:00 p.m. at the church. We are very fortunate to have such enthusiastic volunteers in both choirs and also as leaders of songs. All who wish to sing in the Adult Choir are requested to audition
St. Rose of Lima
At St. Rose of Lima, the adult choir practices on Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m. and sings at the 9:00 a.m. Sunday Mass and on Holy Days. An audition is not required but is hoped that one can carry a tune!
