The Music Ministry at Sacred Heart Catholic Church warmly welcomes singers and instrumentalists who wish to share their talents in praising the Lord. Weekend Masses employ the Adult Choirs and Ensembles.
“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.”
– Colossians 3:16
