"The musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art. The main reason for this pre-eminence is that, as a combination of sacred music and words, it forms a necessary or integral part of solemn liturgy" (Sacrosanctum Concilium, no. 112). The composition and singing of inspired psalms, often accompanied by musical instruments, were already closely linked to the liturgical celebrations of the Old Covenant. The Church continues and develops this tradition: "Address . . . one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart." "He who sings prays twice" (Eph 5:19; St. Augustine, En. in Ps. 72,1:PL 36,914; cf. Col 3:16).

SEAS Choir

Do you love to sing? Were you involved in your high school or college choir, and miss singing with a fun group of people? Are you currently in high school choir, and you want to get more involved in church? Is music one of the gifts you have been given that you would like to share?  We have all been called to do something, and we have all been given gifts to share.  Some of us are gifted readers, bakers, organizers, sewers, builders, leaders...the list goes on and on. If singing is your gift, please consider joining the choir. We meet on Thursday evenings from 7-8pm, and we have a lot of fun.  The time commitment is minimal, but the rewards are huge.  If you are interested, or have any questions, please contact Beth at the parish office, or call/text at:608-385-1816.
