CANTORS - This ministry is both singer and leader of congregational song to promote the singing of the entire gathered assembly. A Cantor is required for all weekend celebrations of the Mass and other Feast Days on a rotating schedule. Other venues for Cantoring include weddings, funerals and Cantor mentoring to students in our High School Faith Formation program. Although it is not required, Cantors are urged to take part in the Thursday evening Adult Choir, as this is where new music is learned.

GIFT OF TIME: Rehearsals are one Saturday morning from one to two hours.
QUALIFICATIONS: Experienced singers with strong voices who are able to read or follow music are eligible to join after an audition with the music director.
TRAINING: This is accomplished through rehearsals. Special workshops and courses are available at Holy Redeemer and through the Grand Rapids Chapter Of National Pastoral Musicians (N.P.M.).
