Music is a vital part of life and worship here at St. Mary's, and all parishioners are welcome to take part. Music touches our minds, opens our hearts and lifts our souls. It shapes the spirituality of those who hear it and those who prepare and present it. It can help lead us to God. Music ministry at St. Mary's is carried out primarily by volunteers, supplemented periodically by gifted professionals.
