MUSIC MINISTRY
Sung prayer reaches its high point in the sacred liturgy, the public worship of the Church. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is made more beautiful by the singing of every Catholic, who is called to active participation—through sung prayer, especially—in the Mass. If you have been blessed with musical ability, perhaps you would like to join the Church of St. Jude Choir.
