To seek Christ, Know Christ and Become Christ, each one for the sake of all

By joining our hearts with the beauty of sound, we give voice to our faith through the art of music.  Music soothes, excites, challenges and unites us in ways in which words alone cannot. Through our hymns and acclamations, the singing of our choirs, and the sounds of our instruments, music enables us to touch the very mysteries of God as we unite in prayer.

At St. Dominic, music for worship spans the centuries for Medieval chant and Renaissance polyphony through modern repertoire of the new millennium.  Choirs and cantors provide musical leadership at liturgical celebrations, and the church houses a fine new (2005) Schantz pipe organ which is heard regularly in worship.  The church building provides a warm environment for the ministry of music.

For those interested in becoming involved in our music ministry, more information can be found under each of the headings on the left of this page.  Come, spend a few moments here and see if there is something that interests you!  We're always happy to welcome new members into the ministry of Music at Saint Dominic.

Liturgy of the Hours "Evensong" or "Vespers"

We are all familiar with the liturgy we celebrate together every Sunday, the Mass, or Eucharist. But did you know there is another liturgy of the Church, sometimes called "the official prayer of the Church"? It is the Liturgy of the Hours, by which we sanctify every part of the day in union with people all over the world.

Every Wednesday during Advent and Lent at 7 p.m., we celebrate evening prayer ("Evensong" or "Vespers.") together at St. Dominic. (We call it "Evensong" or "Sung Vespers" because, with the exception of the prayers after the Psalms and the Scripture Reading, the entire prayer is sung by those gathered and a cantor or choir.)This is part of the Liturgy of the Hours.
