Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD; cry out to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with a song of praise, joyfully sing out our psalms.Psalm 95:1-2
Greetings! My name is Mary Ann O’Donnell and I humbly serve as the Director of Music at Saint Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church. If you have been blessed with a musical gift, I warmly invite you to consider sharing it within our growing and vibrant music program here in this beautiful parish.
Our musicians approach the sacred liturgy with humble hearts and meek dispositions, always mindful that our role is not to entertain, but to serve—to assist the prayer of the faithful and to offer fitting praise to Almighty God each weekend.
The Church reminds us that “the musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value” (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 112), and that sacred music transcends cultures, languages, and generations, uniting the faithful in one voice of prayer.
I hope you will consider joining us in this sacred work, rediscovering the beauty of our shared inheritance, and lending your voice or instrument to the Church’s eternal song—a song that has sanctified saints, strengthened souls, and continues to draw hearts closer to God.Music Ministries Liturgical Groups
