Covenant Community of Infant Jesus Music Ministry
Our Music Ministers glorify God through song and share their many musical talents as the Covenant Community of Infant Jesus gathers to celebrate its sacramental life. A love of music and an interest in praising God through music are all that is required to join the Music Ministry.
At Infant Jesus, we are fortunate to have a force of highly qualified people who serve the Covenant Community as organists, musicians, choir directors and cantors. It has always been the practice of all of our musicians to offer a wide and varied repertoire of music. Attend a Sunday Mass and you may hear all sorts of music ranging from Gregorian chant and the works of the great masters, to African-American spirituals, Bi-lingual Spanish music, traditional African songs, and the best of all contemporary music.
There are always opportunities, for people of any age, to join one of the four choirs that meet regularly throughout the year. There are also opportunities for musicians to join one of our existing ensembles. For information on any aspect of the Music Ministry, please contact Therese Blanton, at 642-9287.
