“A PLACE FOR EVERYONE!”
Nativity Parish offers many opportunities for you to serve by sharing your time and
talent. Come be part of this dynamic ministry.
There’s something for EVERYONE!
Nativity Parish Chorale
This rehearsed group leads music for most special liturgies and some additional Sunday liturgies, September through June. Rehearsals are selected Thursday evenings. For singers of all levels, the Chorale builds choral skills, vocal production and part-singing. Instrumentalists are welcome.
Nativity Parish Singers
This group of men and women singers leads music at Saturday Mass about once
monthly. The group meets one hour prior to Mass and leads that day. Repertoire is mostly familiar. Instrumentalists are welcome.
Nativity TeeMM Choir
This choir is comprised of young people in grades 7—12 (and beyond). Rehearsals are Wednesdays from 6:30— 8:00pm the Wednesday prior to a scheduled Mass. Most liturgies are the second Sunday of the month, October through June. Repertoire is broad but includes more contemporary/worship music. Guitars and other instru- mentalists are encouraged!

This choir is open to all school-aged children in grades 3—8. Rehearsals are after school on selected Wednesdays. Grades 3—5 meet from 3:20—4:00. Grades 5—8 meet from 3:20—4:30. Choristers learn fundamentals of choral singing and liturgical form as well as building relationships and commitment to service.
September through May.
Nativity Cantor Program
Nativity Parish schedules many skilled Cantors. They lead music for Mass and learn about Psalmody and delivery, song-leading and encouraging participation by our assemblies. Monthly rehearsals offer practice and training as psalmists and song leaders. Biannual workshops are a required and an essential part of contin- uing education for this service ministry.
Nativity Psalm Study
This group is for those who would like to deepen understanding of the psalms we proclaim at our
liturgies. All cantors are encouraged to participate as well as those who do not belong to Music Ministry. Scheduled by attendees.
All groups are non-denominational but lead Catholic Liturgy. For more information about these groups and opportunities, contact
