The Cathedral Choir

The Cathedral Choir sings at the 8:30 a.m. Mass, usually on the 2nd Sunday of the month, and on occasion for special  services. Open to adults and high school students - the only prerequisite is the ability to match pitches! Rehearsals are once a week on Thursdays, from 7:00-8:00 PM.  Regular attendance at rehearsals and services is expected. The accompaniment is by organ. The choir takes a more relaxed schedule during the summer months.

For more information or to volunteer, contact Matthew Bobella 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. Cantors meet monthly to rehearse, usually at 6:30 p.m. on the Thursday before the first Sunday of each month.
