Sacred Heart Choirs & 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
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 including 5:00pm Saturday, 8:00am Sunday, and 10:30am Sunday Mass times employ the Adult, Children’s, and Youth Choirs. The choirs combine (Concert Choir) for special events including an annual Advent/Christmas program, Holy Triduum Liturgies, and for other special events and liturgies.
