ST. VINCENT MARTYR MUSIC

MINISTRY There are many opportunities here for those interested in offering their musical gifts in the form of Music Ministry service.

Our ADULT CHOIR is a four-part group of adults ranging in age from 18 to 80. 

The CONTEMPORARY ENSEMBLE is an Adult group of smaller number. There are three instrumentalists and 5-6 singers presently. They rehearse on Thursday evenings (7:30 - 9:00 p.m.) and serve the Saturday 5:00 p.m. Liturgy. 

The TEEN CHOIR welcomes singers 13 years-old through college-age.  We sing at every other 12 Noon Sunday Mass, and our practices are typically once-a-week and are very flexible.  In addition to traditional music, we also prepare simple Gregorian chant and some Latin motets.  The Teen Choir is a wonderful opportunity for our young church to serve the parish. New members are most welcome!  Please contact Julie McGurn at 973-408-9042 for more information.

Joining the Adult Choir and sometimes serving alone is our HANDBELL ENSEMBLE. This changing number group (currently 6 members) is a highly dedicated ensemble serving to enhance various liturgies with the beauty and unique sound of Handbells and Choir Chimes. New members who read music are most welcome.

The CHORISTERS are the main Children’s choir. They rehearse early on Tuesday afternoon during choir season and serve at the Sunday 9:00 a.m. Liturgy. 

There are further opportunities for individuals with extra leadership talent in the area of CANTOR MINISTRY. Mostly drawn from the Adult Choir and Contemporary Ensemble, these men and women serve to lead the sung prayer at liturgies throughout the year whenever choirs are not present. Training in Psalm singing and Cantor leadership is provided by the Director of Music Ministry.
