Music Ministries

David Kellogg (206) 242-4575 Ext. 33

Music can express the whole range of human emotions, speaks to the heart and mind, is very powerful, and reaches out in ways that words alone cannot. Therefore, we believe that music is an integral part of not only the liturgical life of the parish, but also of its spiritual, catechizing, evangelizing, social, and outreach ministries. Our songs do not stop at the church doors. They provide a vocabulary to make Eucharistic thanksgiving all day long and all life long- music is transformative and life changing at St. Francis.

Thanks to all of those who serve as music ministers- your contributions of time, talent and commitment and dedication are a real blessing to all at St. Francis. Thank you for giving of yourselves and enriching all of our lives-you are a priceless treasure and gift.

We, at St. Francis, are so blessed to have such amazing and committed singers and instrumentaists to help lead us in worship!!!  Thank you to all of you who give so willingly of your time, talent and commitment!!  Take the time to stop one of them and say thanks!!!  

----The 8:00 choir prepares music and leads worship for the Sunday 8:00 am mass. This group rehearses on Wednesdays from 7:30 pm until 9:00 p.m in the choir loft of the church.
As the 8:00 a.m. mass is a traditional mass with organ, traditional as well as some alternative style music is prepared and enhances worship at the 8:00 a.m mass twice a month.  There are many fringe benefits- weekly backrubs, great camaraderie and guaranteed seating!!!  In September, the rehearsals will be changing from Wednesday nights to Thursdays from 5:45 until 7:15 p.m.

-----The 10:00 ensemble leads worship with a mixture of alternative style, contemporary and traditional music at the 10:00 a.m mass on Sunday mornings. The same music is also presented at the 5:00 p.m. vigil mass on Saturdays.

-------The LifeTeen music team is the music team that leads the LifeTeen mass on Sundays at 5:00 p.m. The rehearsal is from 3:45 p.m.until 5 pm in the church just prior to the LifeTeen mass at 5 p.m. Contemporary Christian music is the musical style of this mass. Come check us out!
 

---------The 'Singing Angels' kids choir leads the 5:00 p.m. Saturday vigil mass.  Thanks to all of the parents and singers!!!!!!!  This year the choir will be singing at the vigil mass at 5:00 p.m. on the second Sunday of each month (April 2012 which will be the 4th Sunday). Rehearsals are on Tuesdays from 3:30 p.m. until 4:15 p.m. in the church.
