There is a special role for soloists with the ability to inspire singing from a worshiping assembly. The liturgical soloist acts as cantor of the Psalm and Gospel verse, as well as the leader of songs and acclamations in the absence of a choir. The main requirement for this role is preparation, so the desire to study the text and read the music is very helpful. Other important skills are the ability to sing clearly, in tune, and with confidence. This is a specialized ministry requiring an audition and training sessions with the Music Director. Cantors are typically scheduled to sing at Mass 2-3 times per month and anyone in the ninth grade or older is welcome to audition.
If you are interested in this ministry, please contact the Music Director for an audition.
