The Ministry of Sacred Music provides music for all weekend and Holy Day Masses at St. John the Baptist—more than 200 Masses per year! The members of this ministry sing as cantors, as members of the adult choir that sings at the 10:15 am Sunday Mass, and members of the Children's Choir. If you have a passion for singing and for Mass, you are welcome to join us! Contact Dr. Meaghan King ([email protected]) for more information.
The St. John Choir provides excellent sacred music for the parish’s 10:15 am Mass on Sundays and for several Holy Day liturgies. This ensembles draws from the Church's great treasury of Gregorian chant, English plainsong, polyphony, anthems, and traditional hymnody. Singers in this ensemble include paid section leaders and volunteer singers from the parish. Music reading ability is a plus, but not required. A commitment to regular attendance at rehearsals and Masses is required.
Rehearsals: Wednesdays, 7:30–8:30 pm and Sundays 9:45–10:10 am
St. John Children's Choir
The St. John Children's Choir is open to children ages 7 and up.

They learn how to read music, group vocal pedagogy, and are exposed to all types of Sacred Music from chant, to polyphony, hymns, and anthems.
Rehearsals: Saturdays, 9:30–10:30 am
