Cantors lead the congregation in singing music, usually accompanied by piano or organ.  Anyone is welcome to participate, recognizing that cantors’ ability to sing on pitch is important because they are singing solo.

Cantors assist the people gathered to sing their praise of God together in one musical voice. They lead and encourage the assembly in their singing, and often sing the verses of the responsorial psalm and other musical parts of the liturgy.

Cantors receive training and mentoring before they sing at liturgy, and rehearsals are arranged with the Pastoral Associate for Music Ministry.
