Cantors
The Cantors are people of prayer who are experienced singers that sing with the congregation. The singing that takes place in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is a prayer. The goal is to encourage the congregation to embrace sung prayer as their own. Please contact our Director of Music and Liturgy to arrange for an audition.
