Music Ministry Minimize

 

The Music Ministry is a prayer-centered service ministry, dedicated to the Liturgy of the people and our parish.  As such, we are focused on welcoming, encouraging the song of the assembly, and supporting each other in our love for the Lord.  All who sing and play at regular weekend liturgies rehearse together each week, forming a community of faith based on the common bonds of music and Christian life.  We encourage adults, teens, and children, singers and instrumentalists, to come join us.

 

Our Director of Music, Mrs. Michele P. Farmer says that "The joyous song of our entire assembly is the first priority.  And we are blessed with many talented singers and musicians to support that song. I hope to welcome even more of our gifted people to join music ministry at St. Mary of Vernon, especially our children and teens.” Please contact Michele Farmer by email or at 847-362-1005 to volunteer, or if you would like more information. Be a part of that heavenly host singing ‘round the table of the Lord.

 

 

    
Adult Choir Minimize

 

The adult choir sings 5-part arrangments - basses, tenors, altos sopranos, and descant sopranos. We are accompanied by guitar and piano. We encourage those age 19 or older who want to share ther gift of music with the parish to come join our adult choir.

 

We sing as small groups for each of the weekend Masses.  You can pick the Mass at which you want to sing. For Christmas and Easter we sing as a full choir for Midnight Mass, Holy Week and the Easter Vigil Mass.; Perhaps you have wanted a chance to sing with choir, but cannot commit to singing year-round. This is your opportunity to give it a try!

 

Rehearsals Wednesdays 7:30—9:30 PM.  We are always in need of additional singers, especially at this time altos and basses.

    
Teen Choir Minimize

 

Are you a teen, 8th grade through high school senior? Singers in all voices are welcome. Guys, whether your voice has changed or not, we have a spot for you! If you sing at chorus in school, or in a show choir, why not share all you have learned by singing here at church?

 

Instrumentalists who play in band or orchestra at school, no matter what your instrument, you can also be a part of what we do here at church. we have drummers, keyboardists, flutists, clarinetists, string players of all kinds, trumpeters and horn players of every shape and size. No matter how you make music, there is a place for you here.

 

Since 2001, the teens of our parish from the 8th grade through high school and beyond have been coming together in the church on Sunday afternoons in the church throughout the year to form the Teen Choir. Our schedule is flexible and you can come when it fits your schedule and miss when you have to. Commit as your schedule allows. You can even get credit for service hours.

 

Interested? Print out the Teen Choir Registration Form and drop it off or mail it in. You can also get on our mailing list by calling Michele Farmer 847-362-1005 or mfarmer@maryofvernon.org If you play a transposing instrument, call to let Michelle know you are coming so she can have music ready for you!

    
Youth Choir Minimize

 

We are a parish filled with young families! In 2002, we began a Youth Choir for children in third grade through seventh grade. Since that time, children and their parents have enjoyed the chance to get to know one another and share their musical talents with the parish!

 

It’s time for me to once again ask the community for help! We need a new infusion of children, and especially willing parents to help launch our new Youth Choir Year! Are you interested? Love children, love music, love the liturgy? Complete the Youth Choir Registration Form for your child and start having some fun.

 

We pratice on Wednesdays at 6:00 P.M.
