Our parish music ministry works brings vitality to our sung worship through a wide variety of beauty in our liturgical music. One great aspect of the Cathedral music ministry is the community built among the various musicians and singers, bringing about a depth of faith and spirituality and commitment to prayer and good works.
The Liturgical Music Office is located on the lower level of the Cathedral behind Marian Hall. Here is a listing of various music ministries at the Cathedral. If you are interested in serving in the Cathedral music ministry in any way, call the Office at 725-2707.
Cathedral Choir
