The Adult Choir is a vibrant ministry that enriches our parish liturgies through prayerful and beautiful sacred music. This group welcomes adults of all singing abilities who have a desire to serve the Church and grow in fellowship through music.

Rehearsals are held Wednesdays from 6:00–7:30 PM and the choir currently sings at two Masses each month.

Whether you are an experienced singer or simply enjoy lifting your voice in praise, the Adult Choir is a wonderful way to share your gifts, deepen your faith, and become part of a supportive musical community.

If you are interested in joining, please contact Erika Weiss at musician@stmattoc.org for more information.

Cantor Ministry

The Cantor Ministry plays a vital role in leading our parish in prayer through music. Cantors serve as musical leaders at Mass, proclaiming the Responsorial Psalm and guiding the congregation in song so that all can participate fully in the liturgy.

If you have a confident singing voice, a love for sacred music, and a desire to help others worship through song, we invite you to consider joining the Cantor Ministry. Training and guidance are provided.

If you are interested in joining the cantor ministry, please contact Erika Weiss at musician@stmattoc.org for more information.

Along with greeters, ushers are one of the first faces that all encounter as they enter the gathering space and the church. Ushers assist in welcoming everyone, directing them to seating if needed. They also monitor the congregation during Mass to see if anyone has a special need that requires assistance, and hand out the weekly bulletin.
