By joining our hearts with the beauty of sound,
we give voice to our faith through the art of music. Music
soothes, excites, challenges and unites us in ways in which
words alone cannot. Through our hymns and acclamations, the
singing of our choirs, and the sounds of our instruments, music
enables us to touch the very mysteries of God as we unite in
prayer.
At St. Dominic, music for worship spans the
centuries from Medieval chant and Renaissance polyphony through modern
repertoire of the new millennium. Choirs and cantors provide musical leadership at
liturgical celebrations, and the church houses a fine
Schantz
pipe organ which is heard regularly in worship.
For those interested in becoming involved in our music
ministry, more information can be found below. Come, spend a few moments here and see if
there is something that interests you! We're always happy to
welcome new members. |

Liturgy of the Hours, "Vespers"
We are all familiar with the liturgy we celebrate together
every Sunday, the Mass, or Eucharist. But did you know there is
another liturgy of the Church, sometimes called "the official
prayer of the Church"? It is the Liturgy of the Hours, by which
we sanctify every part of the day in union with people all over
the world.
Every Wednesday during Advent and Lent at 7 p.m., we
celebrate evening prayer or "Vespers. We call it "Sung Vespers" because,
with the exception of the prayers after the Psalms and the
Scripture Reading, the entire prayer is sung by those gathered
and a cantor or choir. This is part of the Liturgy of the Hours.
