Music Ministry

The Church of Saint Henry has a great tradition for quality music and we are proud of that tradition.  Those who are part of our music ministry, come to a greater understanding of liturgy itself.  The Mass becomes more meaningful.  We don’t just pick songs "out of the hat,” rather, our selection of music on any given weekend is designed to support the Scripture readings for that day. Those in music ministry also appreciate the fact that the songs we sing are really prayers set to music, so they value this opportunity to raise their minds and hearts to God in prayerful song.  Being part of a music ministry such as ours at St Henry’s is spiritually enriching. This is a wonderful and enjoyable way of serving the Lord and our community.  We’d love for you to join us.

 

ADULT CHOIR                           

Post-high school age singers to retirees are invited to participate in the Adult Choir. This group works on music that is choral (mostly 3 or 4 part) and a variety of styles, including traditional to contemporary. If you can carry a tune and enjoy part-singing, please consider joining us. Previous choral experience is a plus, but definitely not necessary. The choir meets most Wednesdays from September – May and there are two options for practices, either 1 pm-2pm or 7:30-8:30 pm to accommodate member’s schedules.

CONTEMPORARY ENSEMBLES

Sometimes this musical group is called our small groups. Many of the people that sing in these ensembles also sing in the Adult Choir.  However, some like the small group feeling.  These ensembles are the backbone of our music program because they assure us that we will have music at all of our liturgies. These groups sing a variety of music. Everyone is welcome to join a small group.

KIDS CHOIR

This choir is for elementary school children through 6th grade who love to sing.  Whether they sing on or off key, we’re not too fussy when it comes to the little ones.  Give your child a chance to enjoy being a part of this group; they’ll love it!  Practices are held between the religion classes, from 5:20 to 5:55 pm most Wednesdays during the Faith Formation year. The Kids Choir is scheduled about 4-6 times during the school year, including at the 4:00 pm Mass on Christmas Eve.

TEEN CHOIR

We sing once or twice per month at the weekend liturgies.  All levels of musical abilities is accepted, including singers and those who play a musical instrument.
