Church musicians are called to proclaim the Gospel through the universal language of music. Since every Mass participates in the eternal, heavenly liturgy, the music ministry at St. Joseph strives to provide liturgical music that is worthy of this great calling.


We serve all parishioners and visitors by enhancing the prayer of our worshiping community. We seek to use music that not only encourages participation, but also lifts our hearts and minds to heaven.


We serve our music ministry volunteers by helping them to develop their God-given gifts and talents. Through our rehearsal process, we are not only refi ning our art in service of the Church, but we are also preparing our hearts, minds, and voices to enter into the holy sacrifi ce of the Mass.


Join us! We are actively recruiting for our music program at St. Joseph. If you like to sing and feel called to share your gift, please contact us to get involved! No musical experience is necessary, only the ability to match pitch. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Allison Fay, Director of Music, at allison@SJCshelton.org or (203) 924-9677, Ext. 203.
