Why Do We Sing?
As it is stated by the USCCB in “Sing to the Lord. Music in Divine Worship (Copyright © November 14, 2007) “Obedient to Christ and to the Church, we gather in liturgical assembly, week after week. As our predecessors did, we find ourselves “singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in our hearts to God.”
This common, sung expression of faith within liturgical celebrations strengthens our faith when it grows weak and draws us into the divinely inspired voice of the Church at prayer. Faith grows when it is well expressed in celebration. Good celebrations can foster and nourish faith….”
Our music ministry takes pride in the talent of our musical groups here at St. Julia’s. The various cultures and genres available are not for entertainment, but instead for the purpose of leading our vast congregation in prayer using several types of musical styles. These differences add to the abundance of love and spiritual blessings celebrated together as a family during each Mass.
We have several groups and welcome all who would like to join our ministry.”
