Music Ministry

Welcome to St. Joseph’s Church Music Ministry!

God has bestowed upon his people the gift of song. God dwells within each human person, in the place where music takes its source. Indeed, God, the giver of song, is present whenever his people sing his praises. (Sing To the Lord: Music In Divine Worship)
