The Music Ministry at St. Mary Student Parish is a community of parishioners who share their time and musical talents and support one another as Christian disciples. Our mission is to enrich the worship experience of our liturgical celebrations through music, encouraging active participation from the assembly. Student and community parishioners have the opportunity to participate in a variety of small and large ensembles at weekend Masses and special celebrations. We draw from a diverse array of styles including praise and worship, hymns, and Latin American music traditions.
