Music Ministry
New Year, New Season, New Music
Hello to all of my fellow St. Mary Magdalene parishioners! This Advent, as it is a season of preparation, I invite you to begin not only preparing for the coming of Christ and for the Christmas season but also to begin preparing for our new musical Mass setting for Ordinary Time in 2021. You can listen to the setting here, and then come mid-January, you'll be more familiar with the music and ready to sing at Mass.
-Sarah Chernetz, Director of Music
The mission of the Music Ministry at St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ through song, lead the assembly in musical prayer, and inspire all who hear our music to become closer to God. We provide an opportunity for musicians to share their gifts and become an integral part of the liturgy.
