Music Ministry
The Ministry of Music provides music during weekend Masses, holy days, weddings, funerals and Reconciliation services. Parishioners are invited to share their musical talents with the rest of the congregation through this ministry.
The Music Ministry of St. Jerome is an active and growing ministry that is comprised of adults, teens, and children who are committed to fostering the sung prayer of the assembly. The members of St. Jerome seek to enhance the spirituality of the community through sung prayer. This is done through participation as a choir, as instrumentalists, or as cantors. We welcome all who are interested in serving in our music ministry and value your individual gifts and contributions.
There are a variety of services that offer different ways to become involved with the music ministry. If you have previous choir experience, play an instrument, or simply love to sing, we encourage you to share your gifts with the parish community.
