How often, making music, we have found a new dimension in the world of sound,
As worship moved us to a more profound Alleluia. -- Fred Pratt Green "When, in Our Music, God is Glorified"

Welcome to the Holy Trinity Music Ministry
♫ Click here for the latest Music Ministry News ♫
Holy Trinity Church has a proud tradition of making fine music for the past 100 years; music that serves as an offering of praise and thanksgiving to God. Our parish music ministry serves to inspire and uplift, providing a program as diverse as its people. At Holy Trinity, music for worship spans the entire treasury of the Church's repertoire, from Gregorian Chant and Renaissance motets to the most contemporary literature. Musical leadership at all Masses is provided by the volunteer choirs and cantors. Singing or playing in one of the choirs gives us the opportunity to enhance worship at our parish, to nourish community among choir members and with fellow parishioners, and to experience the opening of heart and spirit that is found in musical prayer.
This ministry is continually seeking new members. If you play an instrument or have a pleasant singing voice, please consider one of our many music-making opportunities. Holy Trinity is fortunate to have choirs of differing styles whose primary purpose is to lead and enhance the music at all liturgies.
The Holy Trinity Sanctuary Choir sings weekly at the Sunday, 11:00 am mass. Rehearsals are each Wednesday from 7-9 beginning in late August and running through June. The sanctuary choir sings a variety of styles from classical to contemporary. We present a choral rosary twice a year, in October and May, and perform a major work every November at our annual Memorial Concert. At Christmas, in addition to the regular liturgies, we have added a tradition of Lessons and Carols which is always followed by an informal celebration with Christmas songs and fun for the kids. Our year concludes in the late spring with our Pops Concert that gives us a chance to showcase the individual talents of choir members. With fundraisers through the year, our post-Christmas dinner, the spring banquet, and summer pool parties, we are a busy and fun-loving group.The Schola Cantorum sings once a month at the 5:00 p.m. Saturday mass with rehearsals at 7:00 p.m. on the Thursday prior. The Schola is an auditioned group that draws from the Catholic Church's great classical tradition for its repertoire. The ability to read music is strongly encouraged for this group. This choir is a good opportunity for singers who unable to make the weekly commitment of the sanctuary choir.
The Holy Trinity Handbells has regular Wednesday evening rehearsals at 6:00 p.m. The group contributes to the music of the liturgy throughout the year, particularly at Christmas, Easter and the great feast days. The ability to read music is required.
The St. Vincent Men's Schola is a small men's ensemble that sings a cappella, four part music monthly at the 9:00 a.m. Sunday liturgy. Membership is by audition.
Happy Hour, The Contemporary Christian Band sings weekly at the Sunday evening mass at 5 p.m. with rehearsals at 3:00. The group uses guitars and piano to lead the congregation in folk and contemporary music that brings an informal and inspirational mood to the evening service.
The Coro provides musical support for the 12:30 pm Sunday mass in Spanish. Rehearsals are on Wednesdays at 7:00.
