Ministry of Music



Music Ministry mission statement

The mission of Music Ministry at Our Lady of the Brook Parish is to support the gospel message through song and challenge the assembly to live it more fully. The goal of the Director of Music Ministries is to develop a prayerful, singing assembly through preparation, celebration and evaluation, through education and personal ministry. There is an opportunity for every parishioner to participate, whether as a chorister, an instrumentalist, a cantor, a bell ringer, or a participant in congregational song.
