The Music Ministry of St. Dominic Parish includes both individuals and groups of people. We consist of the clergy, assembly, cantors, choirs, school children, instrumentalists- anyone who makes music in our worshipping community.
In both English and Spanish, St. Dominic Music Ministries support the gospel message through song. The ministry of music challenges the church community to live their faith more fully.
As music ministers, our goal is to assist the assembly of believers in expressing and sharing their gift of faith within themselves. We nourish and strengthen the interior commitment of faith with the joy and enthusiasm of music. The music ministry adds to community worship and imparts a sense of unity to the congregation as it sets the tone for a particular celebration.
If you are interested in being a part of the Music Ministry of St. Dominic Parish, or you would just like some more information, please contact Rick Jeffrey, Director of Music, (630)739-5703 x24.
