  St. Vincent Martyr Parish is blessed with an established, vibrant music ministry and a storied history. We believe that music is an integral part of our liturgical celebrations. We are always looking for talented vocalists and instrumentalists of all ages. There are many opportunities here for those interested in offering their musical gifts in the form of Music Ministry service.

Opens to teens and adults and spanning in age from 14-80, this ensemble meets every Wednesday evening (7:30 - 9:00 p.m.) during the choir season (mid-Sept.-May) to prepare for service to the Sunday 10:30 Liturgy. This ensemble prepares a diverse range of musical selections that serves to complement the liturgy. We are always looking for new singers and instrumentalists to share their musical gifts and talents.
Contemporary Ensemble

Singers and instrumentalists of all experience and skill levels are most welcome to come share their gifts and talents.

Bell Choir
- Our Handbell Ensemble is a highly dedicated ensemble serving to enhance various liturgies with the beauty and unique sound of handbells and choir chimes. This ensemble serves both alone and along with our other choirs. Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings at 6:00 PM in the church.
Choristers
- The Choristers is the Children's Choir of St. Vincent Martyr. They provide music for our Sunday Family Liturgies at 9 am and rehearse early on Tuesday afternoon during the choir season.
  
  This young group of music ministers accepts members from 3rd - 8th grade boys and girls in treble voice range. Music for these children, while "youth" centered, includes much of the traditional repertoire of the congregation. Interested seventh and eighth graders receive training as young Psalmists and Cantors.
  
  All children are most welcome at any time of the year.
Cantors
- There are further opportunities for individuals with extra leadership talent in the area of cantor ministry. These men and women serve to lead the sung prayer at liturgies throughout the year. Cantors are trained as psalmists and leaders of song by the Director of Music Ministry.
