These teams serve as advisory councils for the Priest.
St. Mary Adult Choir: This four-part (SATB) choir meets every Wednesday evening at 6:45pm. The choir sings nearly every Sunday at the 11:00am Mass, as well as for the Triduum liturgies and some Holy Days of Obligation.
Cantors: This group of dedicated men and women minister at the Sunday and Holy Day liturgies. They sing the Responsorial Psalm and Gospel Acclamation, as well as during Communion as is needed. This group meets on a specified Wednesday once a month at 6:30pm for about 45 minutes. This meeting is held to facilitate scheduling and reviewing the music for upcoming liturgies.
