Music

The mission of the St. Luke Music Ministry follows this basic principle: If the people in the pews are singing then the ministry is fulfilling it's primary purpose.  Good liturgical music inspires the assembly to sing.  There is no greater musical sound at Mass than the sound of an assembly singing with all of their heart, mind and soul.  This is what we as liturgical musicians are called to bring forth - it is our mission!

“The role of music is to help us surrender to the paschal mystery as it unfolds within the rite.  The role of music is not to entertain, not to keep us 'interested' when the rite seems dry. The music is not an end in itself but a means to our renewal of identity as Body of Christ.”    Kathleen Harmon - The Ministry of Music
