You are invited to apply to be a Cantor. The Cantor proclaims scripture at liturgy by singing the responsorial psalm, much the same way as a lector who proclaims scripture by reading it. The cantor leads the assembly in singing parts of the mass such as the gospel acclamation. There may also be times when a cantor sings verses of songs requiring a solo singer. How much or how little a cantor will sing at a particular liturgy will vary according to the needs of that liturgy. Here are some of the requirements:
Cantors are students in grades 7 & 8
You must be a baptized Roman Catholic.
You must attend Sunday Mass on a regular basis.
You must prepare for and schedule an audition with Mary Bellman
(sheet music, a link to sound file for practice and details will be provided to interested students)
You must be able to sing with enough volume and clarity to lead
the singing of the assembly or to proclaim the psalm
You must be willing to prepare music by practicing at home
