SEAS MUSIC MINISTRY - HARMONIZING FAITH THROUGH SONG

SEAS's Music Ministry is a vibrant and dedicated community of long-time volunteers and talented individuals committed to enhancing the liturgical experience through the power of music. With a focus on regularly scheduled practices and Mass schedules, the ministry welcomes more voices and instruments to join its harmonious ensemble.

Opportunities in SEAS Music Ministry:
1. St. Cecilia Adult Choir and Ensembles: The Adult Choir leads congregational singing during Sunday Masses, holy days, and special liturgies. Rehearsing weekly throughout the academic year and semi-monthly in the summer, the choir offers a beautiful blend of voices and welcomes instrumentalists to join.

2. Choristers Children & Youth Choirs: Open to students in 3rd-12th grades from various educational backgrounds, the Children & Youth Choirs rehearse weekly during the academic year and contribute to the musical richness of regularly scheduled Masses.

3. Cantors/Ensemble Singers: Individuals or small groups comfortable leading the congregation in liturgical singing, with the support of an accompanist.

4. Accompanists: SEAS Music Ministry is actively seeking another accompanist to share the load. While piano skills are preferable, knowledge of playing the organ is not a requirement.

How to Get Involved:
If you are passionate about music, singing, or playing instruments and wish to contribute to the rich tapestry of worship at SEAS, consider joining the Music Ministry. For more information or to express your interest, please contact Melinda Arnold at 887-6472 ext. 606 or marnold@seaschurch.org.

SEAS Music Ministry invites all individuals with a love for music to join in creating a harmonious atmosphere that elevates the spiritual experience for the entire community.

SEAS Music Ministry Report
March 2024

Choirs
The Adult Choir members present at a recent rehearsal voted to change the name of the choir
to the St. Cecilia Choir in hopes of appealing to a broader range of ages – including the students
of the Youth Choir who might be interested in joining. This group will still primarily lead music
on Sundays at 9 a.m. Mass and most Holy Days and large celebrations and continue with its
focus on a mix of traditional and contemporary music. They continue to prepare music for Holy
Week.
The Choristers will join the St. Cecilia Choir for Palm Sunday Mass at 9 a.m., and they will sing in
April with the Youth Choir for First Communion on April 21. The Youth Choir is working on a
summer schedule as well to continue rehearsals and leading music at Mass when possible.

Livestream
The livestream schedule continues without change. We have a volunteer to operate the camera
for the 9 a.m. Sunday Mass twice a month.
