Music Ministry

For many individuals, one of the primary ways we experience the Lord is through music. With that gift, there is often the desire to share it and to help others enter into prayer more deeply. The goal of our music ministry program is to provide an opporutnity to pray more deeply through music, to build up the spiritual lives of both those who contribute to the ministry and those who experience it through the Mass or Adoration.

Director of Music Minsitry

Hello everyone! It's my joy to join the MHT staff as Director of Music ministry. I am a recent graduate of Central Michigan University, where I studied English and Music. As a music student, I studied voice and organ, played piccolo in marching band, and sang in CMU's concert choir for 3 years. I also enjoyed serving as a coordinator for speaker events at St. Mary's University Parish, where I was also involved in music ministry.

Adult Choir

The adult choir is open to anyone from high school and up, and the group sings for 8:30 Mass on Sunday from September through May. If you usually go to 8:30 Mass and you sing, we would love to have you join us in the choir loft. Attending the Wednesday night rehearsals is not necessary to sing for regularly scheduled Sunday Masses.

The group rehearses new music and music for major feasts and solemnities (Christmas, Easter, etc.) on Wednesday nights. If you would like to sing for those occasions, please join us for those rehearsals. They begin at 7:30 (7:00 when Wednesday Mass is cancelled).

Youth Band

The high school youth band is open to freshmen through seniors, and the group sings a blend of contemporary and traditional music. Both singers and instrumentalists are welcome to join; currently, most of the members are singers, and we also have piano, guitar, flute, and other instruments.

The youth band rehearses on Thursday nights 2 or 3 times before each Mass.

Instrumentalists

If you play an instrument (violin, flute, trumpet, etc.), we would love to have you involved! Instrumentalists are usually added to important solemnities, feasts, and sacramental events such as Confirmation. Please contact me at kayla.mhtmusic@gmail.com if you are interested.
