"A liturgical celebration can have no more solemn and pleasing feature than the whole assembly's expressing its faith and devotion in song" (Musicam Sacram #16).

The Music Ministry at Nativity is comprised of volunteer cantors, choirs, and instrumentalists whoim enhance our worship through music; we support the congregation in their full and active participation in the sung liturgy. We are always open to new members, no matter your experience or ability.  If you or someone you know would like to join our ministry team, please fill out the form below or contact our Music Director, Phillip Revekant.  prevekant@nativity.org   As St. Augustine said, "they who love, sing."  

Cantors:  Cantors lead singing at Mass and other prayer services by proclaiming the psalm, leading the congregation in sung responses, and support the assembly idurning hymns and songs.

Parish Choir:  The Nativity Parish Choir sings every Sunday at 9:30 am Mass, Holy Days, and other special occassions.  We sing a diverse range of music in varying styles, both in unison and harmony.  Practice for the Parish Choir is on Wednesdays at 7:15 PM.

Children's Choir:  Open to school-aged children, the Children's Choir sings at various times of the year when announced.

Instrumentalists:  Instrumentalists are welcome at any weekend mass as well as in our various ensembles.  

Resurrection Choir:  This choir sings for Funerals and Memorial Masses when they are scheduled.  No specific practice is required except for meeting before each service to review music.
