St

Welcome to St. Peter's Catholic Community Music Ministry. My name is Valerie and I would like to take you on a little tour of our ministry. Let's start with our weekend masses. We have 4 English masses and 3 Spanish masses every weekend. 5pm on Saturday is a folk English mass with a guitar and the 6:30 mass is in Spanish. Sunday morning we start with the 7:30 mass which is in English with a more traditional group with the piano. 9am is in Spanish. The 10:30 mass is very contemporary with groups with guitars, pianos, flutes and various other instruments when available. The noon mass is a Spanish mass. All Spanish masses are done by guitar groups that also have keyboards, bases and other instruments. On Sunday evening we have a 5:00 mass that is also folk with a once a month Youth Mass. At the Youth Mass you will hear the piano, guitars, base guitar, trumpet, alto and tenor saxophone, trombone, French horn, clarinet and flute. We are in the process of adding other instruments as we can.

Next let me tell you about our Festival Choir. This is a group of people that don't have the time for a weekly or bi-weekly comittment so they join the Festival Choir. This choir sings twice a year only. We sing at the 10pm Christmas Eve mass which is in English and the Easter Vigil mass which is bilingual. All are welcome to join this choir. You only need to have a passion for singing and it would be good if you can carry a tune. You do not need to read music to join this choir.

There are also various other liturgies during the year that many of our music ministers participate in such as the Advent and Lenten Penance Services, Friday night Taize prayer during Lent, various retreats, special masses and Holy Days of Obligation.

We are always looking for talented musicians and singers and would love to talk with you if you are feeling the nudge to use your time and talent in this ministry. Our goal is to "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord" and to help our brothers and sisters in Christ to experience the fullness of worship in song whenever we gather as a community.

If you would like more information about this ministry feel free to email me at the link on this page or call my office at 760-728-7034 ext. 330. I would love to chat and get to know you and help you find just exactly where the Lord wants you to serve.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Valerie
