- The IHOM Music Ministry -

 

I believe that God intended us to reach people through our performances.

We are not only performing for the Parish, we are performing for God!

Let’s be positive, have fun, sing and play well, but most of all, let us leave our fellow parishioners with such a good spiritual feeling that they will want to come back next week for more!

 

Schedule Change per Father Allen - Effective Until Further Notice:

 

There will be no music or singing at the Saturday 4:30 Masses.

Hopefully, this will be a temporary situation and is subject to change at any time.

 

Kids and Adult Choirs:

Everyone needs to show up on time.

 It is not fair to the others if people come late.

 

Making all of the practices is important.

If you can’t make it, see someone after practice to catch up.

If you have other activities, please let me and Loni know.

We will try to help if we can, if not, enjoy your other activities and consider coming back to choir when your schedule is changed.

 

Do NOT schedule other meetings unless approved by the Director.

 

In both the Kids and Adult choirs, we have a mix of talents from novice to professionals.

Please be understanding of others and try not to hurt anyone’s feelings. 

Remember, we are a family!

 

Choirs & Practice Times at the Church:

Kids 6:00 – 7:00pm,

Adults 6:45 – 8:00.

Generally, the first Sunday of the month is Kids Choir at the 10:30 Mass

and the last (4th) is Adult Choir at both 8:30 and 10:30 Masses.

Adult Choir may be moved to a 5th week for those 5 week months.

 

Cantor & Musician Practice:

Per Father Allen, Cantors and Musicians MUST practice before a scheduled Mass.

 

There is to be no music, singing, etc after 8:00 am and 10:00 am on Sundays. This is because parishioners need quite time to pray.

 

This will allow us all to work together at least occasionally.

Let's check with one another to see if either musicians or cantor can switch.

Everybody please advise of vacations as soon as possible.

 

If either musician or cantor cannot make the assigned schedule, it is up to that person to find coverage within existing members of the IHOM Music Ministry and is pending approval of the Music Director. 

Special Masses, Weddings, Funerals, etc:

As needed, Father will request music for various special days of obligation, etc.

The Music Ministry will make every attempt possible for coverage. We should avoid going “outside” for musicians and cantors because this generally results in a higher cost to the Church. Where possible, we should train and promote from within the Parish.

 

In Summary, the various music programs at IHOM have been very successful and the Music Ministry would like to keep up the momentum. In order to do so, it is important to adhere to the above guidelines as best as possible.

 

 

Thanks to all involved for your talents and dedication.

God bless.
