This ministry includes the parish congregation. Music Ministry naturally unites the singer with the song, the singer with listeners, and singers with each other as a symbol of the Church's unity. The congregation's joining with Music Ministry is part of their active participation in the liturgy.

Music Ministry helps support and leads the congregation with balanced judgment that is musical, liturgical, and pastoral. This requires pastoral musicians. All are welcome to participate. We are flexible and work on growing personal skills of pastoral musicians. We need choristers in all choirs. We have a great need for guitars with the Contemporary Choir. Instrumentalists (flute, oboe, violin, trumpet, percussion, etc.) are welcome who can read music fairly well and would like occasional participation - they help make occasions special. Sound board technician(s) are needed who can help adjust the choir loft's system when changes are made. Cantors support congregational singing with organ accompaniment when choirs are not available. These pastoral musicians are members of the community who share faith, serve the community, and express the love of God and neighbor through music.

Youth Choir
The Youth Choir sings at some 8:30 AM Masses and is open to St. Philip Parish youth grade four and older. Age exceptions may be made. Youth are introduced to vocal technique, music reading, and a variety of musical styles as they learn more about the integral role of music in the liturgy.           

Traditional Choir 
The Traditional Choir gathers in the music room 1 and sings for the 10:00 Mass. We work to balance musical challenge and enjoyment.

Contemporary Choir
The Contemporary Choir provides liturgical music for the 11:30am Mass.  The selection of music ranges from songs written by today's Catholic composers, praise and worship, and more "traditional" hymns with a more contemporary interpretation.  We welcome all musicians and singers in leading the congregation in worship.  Practices are the second and fourth Thursdays of every month.
