Music Minister: Mrs. BJ Atkinson
Please check the weekly bulletin and our church calendar for practice times.
Music is an integral part of every weekend Mass celebrated at Christ the King. A variety of musical styles, from pre-Baroque and traditional to contemporary is incorporated in the celebration of Mass. Opportunities for participation in the music ministry include a children’s choir, adult choir, and cantors. We also are blessed to have several members who play a variety of musical instruments.
Adult Choir
The adult choir sings at the 8:30 AM Mass weekly as well as all major Liturgical celebrations including Good Friday, Easter Vigil, Easter Sunday Morning and Christmas Midnight Mass. The role of the Adult Choir is to aid in the assembly’s participation with enthusiastic singing. At other time, the role of the Adult Choir is to add lyrical beauty and dignity to Worship. Rehearsals are Wednesday evening from 7:00-8:45 PM in the Church.
Children’s Choir
Our children’s choir has members ages 8 – 17. All are invited to join this small, but might group of voices. The children usually sing at 11:00 a.m. Sunday Mass and on select Holy Days. Please contact BJ for more information.
Youth Choir
The youth choir is open to all students, grades 3 – 12.
Cantors
At Christ the King, Cantors lead the congregational signing at those Liturgies where a choir is not present. Cantors need to have good vocal strength and quality. The ability to read music is helpful but not required. Cantors are especially needed to assist with the signing at funerals and weddings. The parish is always in need of more Cantors. Please consider this very important ministry.
