In accordance with the guidelines and procedures for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Hartford as prescribed in Sacred Music Handbook, musicians minister to the assembly of believers by providing music of prayer which, avoiding dominance, serves to:
• solemnize the liturgy by enhancing the meaning
and nature of each part of the liturgy,
• increase the effectiveness of texts,
• enhance the liturgical celebrations with beauty,
• edify the participants and help them express their unity,
• assist the assembled believers to express, celebrate, and share the gift of faith.Under the direction of the Director of Music, music is selected which is technically, aesthetically, and expressively good, and supports the nature and structure of the liturgy. It also enables the community to individually and collectively express their faith. Instrumentalists, cantors and choir members train in the areas of performance, music theory, and liturgy to lead in the ministry of musical prayer. They preserve and cultivate a unique heritage while celebrating the present. They encourage, lead, reinforce and enrich the active and enthusiastic participation of the congregation in the singing of the congregation's own parts.
We gather weekly to be strengthened and nourished by the Eucharist at God's altar, and rejoice at receiving His grace through the celebration of all the Sacraments. Won't you join us this Sunday ?
