Music
"Singing is Praying Twice."
Music enhances the Liturgy Mass Celebration of the Roman Catholic Faith. The Catholics are basically traditional and follow the Mass Liturgy very strictly. All songs are based on the Liturgical Season. The Organist, Pianist, Singers, Cantors sing the Responsorial Psalms, Acclamation, Entrances, Offertory, Communion, and Final Songs based upon the Liturgy of the Mass.
St. Mary Help of Christians Church have multiples liturgies on most Sundays of the year. Then, in many cases, the entire parish community comes together for one liturgy on holy days such as as Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil. These Trilingual Celebrations are wonderful opportunity for the various cultural groups of the parish to worship as one.
Our Parish is equipped with three Liturgical Languages: English, Italian, and the Spanish. These groups sing into their own traditional style. Each has an expressive way to enhance and beautify the Liturgical Mass Celebrations.
In our worship today, we strive for both a singing assembly and for appropriate choral and instrumental music. In addition, we are happy to welcome other choir, performers, and listeners to help assist us in our Liturgical Mass.
