MINISTRIES: MUSIC
Immaculate Conception Parish
North Easton, Massachusetts
Music is a vital and important part of Liturgy. Through music, we focus on a commitment to foster a feeling of understanding by recognizing each other's individual personality as well as the common bonds we share in our faith. We strive to deepen our understanding of God, values of kindness, helpfulness, personal responsibility and respect for others; qualities we know to be essential in leading spiritually, emotionally and physically healthy lives.
Adult Choir
We welcome men and women who enjoy singing in a supportive, upbeat and energetic group atmosphere. Rehearsals last about an hour and take place the 4-6 weeks prior to Christmas and Easter. We rehearse/sing in the loft. There is no long-term commitment. Many members sing only at Christmas or Easter. Many others sing for the entire choir season (September through May). You are welcome to “sit in” at a rehearsal anytime to get a sense of what is being done. This is a wonderfully creative way to minister to your church community. Come join us and “sing” what you've been missing!
Cantors
A cantor proclaims the Word of God musically and engages the congregation in praise and worship. Training and ongoing support is provided. Anyone interested needs to have a good, strong voice that projects well and should be comfortable singing in front of large groups.
Holy Smokes!!!
Holy Smokes!!! is ICC's New Contemporary Ensemble geared for junior high, high school and college aged young men and women. However, men and women - any age - who enjoy singing and playing upbeat, Catholic Christian Rock-style music are welcome to join! Though currently we are a vocal group, we are looking to welcome musicians to play piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, etc. so that we can bring this group into a full ensemble-mode. If you enjoy singing in a group and/or play an instrument, please take the time talk to us about how you can be a part of this exciting group. Rehearsals are weekly for one hour September through May.
Junior Choir
The Junior Choir welcomes boys and girls in grades three through six. Rehearsals are weekly for one hour September through May. We sing Mass twice each month, including the 4:00pm Mass on Christmas Eve. Music is traditional and simple in order to emphasize the beauty of these young voices. Feel free to “sit in” at a rehearsal with your child, anytime, to get a sense of what goes on.
Liturgical Musicians
Become a vital part of music ministry by sharing your time and talent with your faith community. Musicians are needed for all weekend Masses as well as Mass celebrated on Holy Days of obligation, holidays and other observances. If you enjoy playing an instrument, please take the time to talk to us about how you can participate.
