A cry from deep within our being, music is a way for God to lead us to the realm of higher things. As St. Augustine says, “Singing is for the one who loves.” Music is therefore a sign of God’s love for us and of our love for him. In this sense, it is very personal. But unless music sounds, it is not music, and whenever it sounds, it is accessible to others. By its very nature song has both an individual and a communal dimension. Thus, it is no wonder that singing together in church expresses so well the sacramental presence of God to his people
(USCCB, 2007: "Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship", 2)
Music is a very important and vital ministry at St. Elizabeth’s and a cornerstone of the liturgical ministry for both the Roman and Byzantine communities. We encourage new members to join the choir and lend their voice or talents with an instrument.
