Contemporary Music Mass

To add to the our various expressions of sung prayer at our liturgies which include hymns, psalms, songs, Taize chant, choral anthems, and antiphonal responses, we have introduced a mass with Contemporary Christian Music as a tool of sung worship.

Contemporary music encompasses a variety of musical genres including rock, jazz, pop, reggae, and the blues. Any of these styles  may provide the "feel" for music at a Contemporary Music Mass.

Twice a month usually on the second and forth Sunday of the month at the 11:30 mass, you will notice the addition of a set of drums and amplified guitars which support this type of music.  Contemporary Christian Music tends to use music as a tool for direct praise, with simple prayerful refrains accompanied by a good solid beat.  Not all of the songs are upbeat.  Some are just simple, easy to sing, meaningful songs with prayerful texts.  Please check the bulletin or here on the website as circumstances may necessitate using the contemporary music during other weeks of the month.

"Lord, how good it is for us to be here..."  Matthew 17
