Music Ministry

Welcome to our new Music Ministry Page!

At a time when it is difficult for our parish to feel connected, Conner McCain, our music director has created a new approach to music ministry. Conner is putting together short videos on our beautiful Catholic hymns and providing some background and a meditation on each. We hope these provide another way to engage our parishioners and enrich their faith life during this time of isolation.

This page will provide links to all of the videos Conner has graciously created for us.
The Ascension

"This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven
will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven."

These are the words of the two men "dressed in white garments" who appear after Jesus ascends into heaven. Thus, he bears two promises at his departure: the first, being the descent of the Holy Spirit, which we will celebrate next Sunday at Pentecost; the second, his eventual return for those who are "in his inheritance among the holy ones." This second promise is the theme of my hymn for this Sunday, "Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending." For we, like those apostles left behind after Christ's ascension, are eagerly awaiting his second coming in glory.
