Music Ministry
Come. Sing. Serve. Play. Pray.
Welcome to the St. Clement Music Ministry!
Music has a unique way of lifting our hearts, drawing us into prayer, and helping us encounter Jesus. Our Music Ministry exists to serve the Lord and our parish community by leading the assembly in joyful and prayerful worship.
Whether you have been singing or playing music for years or have never considered yourself a musician at all, there is a place for you here. We believe that God gives each of us gifts to share, and we would love to help you discover how you can use yours.
You do not need to be a professional musician. You do not need to know how to read music. What you do need is a willing heart and a desire to use your gifts to glorify God.
Come join us as we make music, grow in faith, build friendships, and serve our parish family together.
Adult Choir — The Etherials
The Etherials are our adult choir, open to anyone high school age and older. We come together not only to learn music, but also to grow together as a musical and spiritual family.
Rehearsals: Wednesdays, 6:30–8:30 p.m.
Location: Church
Serve: 10:30 a.m. Sunday Mass, along with special liturgies and holidays
No previous choir experience is required, and reading music is not a requirement. Whether you have sung in a choir for years or simply love to sing, we welcome you!
Come as you are, bring your voice, and let us make a joyful noise together.
Small Ensemble — The Celestials
The Celestials are a smaller vocal ensemble made up of singers high school age and older. This group offers an opportunity for singers who enjoy a more intimate ensemble setting and a close musical community.
Rehearsals: Wednesdays, 5:30–6:45 p.m.
Location: Church
Serve: 5:00 p.m. Saturday Mass
Additional opportunities: Special liturgies and holidays with the Etherials
The Celestials may be a great fit for you if you enjoy singing in a smaller group and want to deepen both your musical and spiritual gifts.
Cantors & Soloists
Members of the Etherials and Celestials may be invited to serve as cantors or soloists. They may proclaim the Psalm, lead the Gospel Acclamation, or provide leadership roles for the prelude and post-Communion portions of Mass.
This ministry is about much more than singing a solo. A cantor helps the assembly pray through song and participate more fully in the celebration of the Mass.
Instrumentalists
Do you play an instrument?
We would love to have you!
We are always looking for instrumentalists who would like to share their musical gifts with the parish. Whether you play guitar, piano, percussion, strings, brass, woodwinds, or another instrument, we would love to hear from you.
Our instrumentalists currently serve by joining the singers for selected Masses and attending rehearsals so that we can grow together musically and spiritually.
If you have an instrument and a desire to use your gift in worship, please reach out to us!
Children’s Choir
We are excited to be growing our Music Ministry to include our youngest musicians!
Our Children’s Choir is currently being formed, with plans to launch in November 2026.
More information about rehearsals, ages, and opportunities to serve will be coming soon.
Stay tuned—we can’t wait to make a joyful noise with our children!
Resurrection Choir
The Resurrection Choir provides music for funeral Masses throughout the year.
There are no regular rehearsals. Members serve at funeral Masses as their schedules allow, joining together to sing the hymns and provide a prayerful presence for families during a difficult and sacred time.
This ministry is a beautiful way to offer comfort and support to those who are grieving while helping create a prayerful environment in which we celebrate the hope of the Resurrection.
Cana Choir
The Cana Choir provides music for weddings celebrated at St. Clement throughout the year.
There are currently no regular rehearsals for this group. Members come together as needed to provide music for the wedding liturgy, helping support the couple as they begin their married life together.
Through joyful music and prayer, we help fill their celebration with joy, praise, and thanksgiving to God.
AV Support
Music Ministry isn’t only about what happens with a microphone.
Our AV Support team serves behind the scenes to help our parish celebrations run smoothly.
AV ministers assist during Mass by:
- Progressing the presentation slides throughout Mass
- Displaying announcements before and after Mass
- Turning the screens on and off
- Providing visual support for the congregation
If you enjoy technology, organization, or working behind the scenes, this may be the perfect way for you to serve!
There Is a Place for You Here
Maybe you love to sing.
Maybe you play an instrument.
Maybe you enjoy working with technology.
Maybe you have always wanted to try a choir but weren’t sure you were “good enough.”
You are welcome here.
The St. Clement Music Ministry is a community of people with different backgrounds, experiences, and abilities who come together with one purpose: to use our gifts to praise God and help our parish pray.
You don’t have to have a perfect voice. You don’t have to know everything. You simply have to be willing to share what God has given you.
Come and See Where You Belong.
We would love to welcome you into our musical family!
Interested in joining? Have questions? Not sure which ministry is right for you?

Come sing with us. Come serve with us. Come pray with us.
