Cantors:  Cantors are visible leaders in our liturgies who possess the tools to lead prayer and worship through our liturgies.  They are responsible for inviting the assembly to worship, proclaiming the Responsorial Psalm and Gospel Acclamation and leading the assembly in song as well as teaching them new music such as mass parts or hymns.  Cantors are expected to attend the cantor workshop the first Wednesday of each month from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. and can schedule additional practice time on any other Wednesday from 6:00-7:00 p.m. by contacting the music director or assistant music director.
