“God has bestowed upon his people the gift of song. God dwells within each human person, in the place where music takes its source. Indeed, God, the giver of song, is present whenever his people sing his praises.”
– Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship, paragraph 1
Music ministry is an important part of the liturgical life of Holy Angels Parish.

Musical Ensembles
There are a number of ensembles at Holy Angels, offering opportunities for music ministry at all ages.
