In the St. Michael Schola Cantorum, Cantors and Psalmists are needed to lead and inspire the communal singing of our parish community. Confirmed youth and adults with skill in solo and choral singing, diction, and music literacy are encouraged to consider this important ministry.

Sometimes, Cantors sing alone, singing sacred texts and melodies for the "Choir of the Assembly" to reflect on in their hearts. This is especially true when the Cantor fulfills the role of Psalmist, proclaiming the Word of God in the verses of the Responsorial Psalm. At other times, the Cantor sings with the community, encouraging their full, conscious, and active participation - helping to bind all the voices together as the one voice of the Body of Christ.

If you discern that God has blessed you with the skills, talent and joyful demeanor needed to lead the song of His People, we encourage you to fill out the registration form below. After receiving your form, Kevin Vogt or Dan Klocke will contact you to set up an informal interview to learn more about your musical background and your desire to share your gifts.
