Our Music Ministry at St. John Neumann is a community of men, women, teens and children who are dedicated to providing our Liturgies with music. Music enhances the Liturgy by drawing the assembly into a more profound form of worship. Our Music Ministry strives to facilitate full and active participation by the congregation at each Liturgy.
Cantors - Ages 16 and up. Cantors are the leaders of song during our liturgies. Some experience in music is recommended. Cantors rehearse once a month, and are scheduled as much or as little as they wish to commit.

Instrumentalists - calling all musicians! We are looking for you to join us to assist in worshipping our Lord. We are interested in parishioners who play any brass, woodwinds, strings and/or percussion instruments. Children and adults who have had at least two years of lessons and are at least eight years of age are welcome to contact our Music Director using the email below for more information.
The Music Ministry performs an annual Christmas Concert during December as a way for the Community to prepare for the coming of our Lord. Please look in the bulletin for announcements leading up to this big event. Please come to this free concert and support our Music Ministry.
Our worship is the greatest gift we can offer to God, who blessed us with the gift of music. Consider offering your gift of music back to Our Lord. If you would like to be part of our growing Music Ministry, please contact Jaclyn DiLouie at music@sjnmtl.org
