The Musicians of St. Dominic's

The musicians of St. Dominic's Catholic Church provide music for weekday and Sunday Masses as well as Solemnities, Holy Days and many special services such as weddings, memorial services and funerals.

Our regular pattern of music making is:

Weekdays
6:30 AM Mass           Said
8 AM Mass     Cantor
5:30 PM Mass     St. Jude Mass with hymns

Weekend
5:30 PM Saturday Vigil Mass               Cantor
7:30 AM Quiet Mass     No music
9:30 AM Family Mass     Family Mass Choir
11:30 AM Solemn Mass     Schola Cantorum
1:30 PM St. Jude Mass in Spanish     Spanish Choir and Ensemble
5:30 PM Mass     Contemporary Choir & Ensemble
9 PM Candlelight Mass     Cantor led TaizĂ© music

Liturgical music is a sacred art form. We are mandated by the church to use only live music, not recordings. Our challenge is to recreate the sounds envisaged by the composer through the medium of printed notation to lift the soul of the worshipper to a higher plane. The music that we perform is of the same quality as the arts forms found in our national art galleries and museums.
