Music Ministry
Sing to the Lord a new Song. (Psalm 98)
What a joy it is to praise God, especially when we come together at Mass, listening and responding to the Word of God and celebrating Eucharist. Music Ministers invite the participation of the faithful and in doing so fulfill the Second Vatican Council's call to "full, concious, and active participation" in the liturgy.
St. Matthew's Parish has several choirs that serve our weekend masses.At English Masses the Peace Choir and the Joyful Noise Choir sing in a more contemporary style, while the Liturgical Choir sings in both traditional and contemporary hymnns.At Spanish Masses, several different corales lead the congregation. In addition to our choirs we have cantors who lead the assembly in song at Masses, weddings, funerals, reconcilliation and other prayer services.
Parishioners wishing to join one of the parish's choirs are encourgaed to speak to choir directors following Mass or a prayer service.
La música tiene un papel indispensable en el culto Católico. Hace diecisis siglos San Agustín escribié, "El que canta, ora dos veces". Esto sigue siendo verdad Hoy en día porque, idealmente, la música tendría que tenerse en cada liturgia. Aquí en San Mateo consideramos una bendición especial tener tantos talentosos msicos, que junto con todos nosotros, podemos elevar nuestras voces en el canto y alabar a Dios.
