  • Brian Hart, Music and Liturgical Minister

    “The faithful who gather together to await the Lord’s coming are instructed by the Apostle Paul to sing together psalms, hymns and inspired songs”  –  Colossians 3:16 –

    Liturgical song is the sign of the heart’s joy, thus Saint Augustine  says rightly “To sing belongs to lovers.”  Music is at the heart of each and every celebration of the mass, the scriptures call us to it.  New members are always welcomed to participate and aspect of the parish’s diverse music ministry.

    St. Ferdinand’s dynamic Music Ministry is comprised of seven different division If you have a voice or musical talent to share, contact our Director of Music Ministries, Brian Hart, for more information. Auditions are required for some groups/positions.

    Adult Choir
    The St. Ferdinand Adult Choir includes vocalists high school age and up, and enhances our parish’s Sunday 10 am Mass weekly, on Christmas and Easter, and other special occasions. This Choir rehearses once a week, and focuses on traditional 4-part music with special emphasis on correct vocal production and technique.

    Folk Choir
    The St. Ferdinand Folk choir welcomes vocalists and instrumentalists, sixth-grade through adults, to minister at the 10:00 am or 12:00 pm Sunday Masses on a rotating basis (twice monthly).  The Folk Choir is accompanied by guitar, mandolin, piano, flute and violin.  Rehearsals are held on Tuesday evenings from 7:30-9 in the choir area in church.

    Cantor Team
    These song leaders assist year-round at all Masses on Sundays and Holy days on a rotating basis. By audition only.
