This is a serious commitment for students who wish to help lead their fellow students and share their gifts in music ministry.  Students are given opportunities to be a cantor, soloist or instrumentalist during liturgical services.  All students will receive one hour of apostolic works for participating in each mass or service.  Rehearsals take place each Tuesday during X-Block in the music room starting in August and continue through May.
