"Song and music fulfill their function as signs in a manner all the more significant when they are "more closely connected . . . with the liturgical action," according to three principal criteria: beauty expressive of prayer, the unanimous participation of the assembly at the designated moments, and the solemn character of the celebration.  In this way they participate in the purpose of the liturgical words and actions: the glory of God and the sanctification of the faithful."    The Catechesim of the Catholic Church #1157

Our choirs and instrumentalists offer to God their first-fruits of time and talents, and minister to our parishioners by seeking to provide appropriate music for prayer, reflection and meditation. Our liturgy allows for such music before Mass, during the Offertory, during Communion and at the Dismissal. These musical offerings draw from the Church's rich musical heritage and ministers of music are encourage by the Church to develop their talents in the service of the liturgy. Organ music, instrumental music and choral works are offered not as mere entertainment or performances, but as a form of prayer which hopefully can move others to pray as well. 

The Music Ministry at All Souls Catholic Church seeks committed individuals who joyfully give back to God through their musical talents.

Those planning Wedding or Funeral Liturgies are asked to visit 
Music Ministry website to make their musical selections and submit them to the music director.
