Liturgical Ministry

THE CELEBRATION OF MASS;
Music Ministry
    - Music Minister may be part of a choir, individual song leader, instrumentalist or cantor. At Assumption the 9am Mass features more traditional "organ" music while the 4:30pm Vigil and 11am Masses feature guitars and other instrumentation. At all the Masses it is important to have a Psalmist and a song leader/cantor and we are always looking for new talent to fill music roles.
