The Cathedral Choir

The Cathedral Choir sings at some of the 10:00 a.m. weekend Masses and special feasts throughout the year. Open to adults and high school students.   Rehearsals are once a week on Thursdays at 7:00 PM in Ruggle Hall.  The accompaniment is by organ. The choir takes a more relaxed schedule during the summer months.

For more information or to volunteer, contact Matthew Bobela, mbobela@cathedralsj.org or through the Parish Office, 816-232-7763.

Cantors

The cantor proclaims the responsorial psalm at Mass and other liturgical services. The cantor also announces the hymns, sings other psalmody as needed, makes other announcements, and offers the prayer of the faithful in the absence of a deacon. Open to adults and high school students who have a love for the psalms, a pleasant singing voice, and an aptitude for public speaking.
