Music Ministries

Below you will find information about the different ensembles that comprise the music ministry here at Blessed Sacrament Cathedral.  For more information about any of these ensembles, please contact Chris Pardini in the parish office.

Cathedral Choir

The Cathedral Choir is the primary vocal ensemble of the Blessed Sacrament Cathedral. Membership is open to those of high school age and older.  The choir usually sings at the 9:00 a.m. Sunday Mass and sings a varied repertoire of accompanied and a cappella works.  The choir is joined by brass and string ensembles at Christmas and Easter.  Rehearsals are held Wednesdays from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the choir room (lower level of the cathedral).

Cathedral Children's Choir

This choir is open to all children in third through eighth grade. Rehearsals are every other Sunday morning during a portion of faith formation. This group sings every four to six weeks at the 11:30 a.m. Mass, providing leadership in worship through the singing of the responsorial psalm as well as other service music and choir pieces. The children learn fundamentals of healthy singing, as well as knowledge of the church's music and liturgy.

Diocesan Choir

Comprised of singers from around the Diocese of Greensburg, this ensemble sings for diocesan liturgies and joins with the Blessed Sacrament Cathedral Choir for Christmas Lessons and Carols. Rehearsals alternate Monday and Tuesday each week.

Resurrection Choir

The Resurrection Choir provides musical leadership for funeral liturgies at the cathedral. No audition is required; however, availability during weekday mornings is required.

Cathedral Cantors

Cantors provide musical leadership at liturgies (Sundays and holy days) and normally proclaim the responsorial psalm. Strong music reading and vocal skills are presumed.  An audition is required for membership.  Cantor rehearsals are held Wednesday evenings following Cathedral Choir rehearsal in the choir room.
