"We are many parts, we are all one body, and the gifts we have we were given to share!"

Everyone here at St. Padre Pio has gifts to share. If you sing or play an instrument, there is room for you to share your talent. Please consider donating a little of your time to the music program of your parish.

If you are interested in becoming part of the St. Padre Pio Music Ministry, please contact our music director, Mark Meier at [email protected]

Music Ministry Opportunities

St. Padre Pio Parish Choir

The St. Padre Pio Parish Choir is a traditional adult choir that sings a variety of classical and contemporary works. All parishioners of high school age and up are welcome.

REQUIREMENTS
The ability to read music is not required but you must be able to carry a tune.  The parish choir will have a substantial focus on multi-lingual celebrations where we present scripture, parts of the liturgy, prayer, and music in English, Spanish, and Tagalog.

REHEARSAL SCHEDULE
The choir rehearses one evening per week during its season.  As the parish continues to make its way through Renew My Church, an evening will be selected based on scheduling of all ministries.  The choir season is generally late September through early June. 

Cantors

St. Padre Pio cantors lead us in song at Mass. Cantoring is unique opportunity for singers to participate in an important ministry that can be tailored to suit your schedule. All parishioners of high school age and up are welcome.

REQUIREMENTS
A beautiful “solo” voice is not required but you must be a confident singer that enjoys being front of an assembly. The ability to read music is not required but is helpful.

REHEARSAL SCHEDULE
Cantors rehearse on an “as needed” basis.

Instrumentalists

If you play an instrument, there’s a place for you. Young players are welcome as well as advanced students and adults.

Woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion all have a place in much of the music that is offered at Mass. Keyboardists will have access to our terrific pipe organ and fine grand pianos. 
 
REQUIREMENTS
You must be able to read and perform music of moderate difficulty. Music can often be arranged specifically for your particular ability.
