Sacred Music

St. Bartholomew the Apostle Church is proud to have an active, vibrant and growing music ministry.
 

ADULT CHOIR

Our adult choir sings at the 10:30 Mass each Sunday, September through June. Rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings at 7 PM in the music room. Though it’s helpful to be able to read music and have a knowledge of your voice range, singers at all levels are welcome to join. It is required for choir members to commit to attending the weekly rehearsals and be present for Sunday Masses.
 

SCHOLA CANTORUM

Our Schola Cantorum sings at the Sunday 9:00 am Mass September through June and rehearses two Mondays per month. Competence in reading and singing is necessary and an audition is required to join this group.
 

JOYFUL SOUND CHILDREN'S CHOIR

Children in grades 3-6 are invited to join our Joyful Sound Choir. We rehearse on Mondays after school, and sing at the 10:30 Mass once per month, and sing for special occasions throughout the year.
 

SPIRIT SINGERS

For 2019, we are planning on reviving the Spirit Singers Youth Choir, for those in grades 7-12. Featuring more of a focus on contemporary music and 2 part harmonies, this group will practice and sing once per month September through June. The Spirit Singers will also participate in the parish Christmas concert and other special events during the year.
 

CONTEMPORARY BAND

Comprised of bass, drums, and guitars, this group plays weekly at the noon Mass from September through June.
 

CANTORS

Our cantors are trained, professional music ministers who lead the sung worship at Sunday Mass, weddings, funerals and baptisms. This ministry is open by audition only.
