Mission:

To develop youth musicians (ages 6-17) in our parish to play for all liturgies.  All musical  instruments  are available.  One aspect of the program is to teach interested youth of our parish how to play the piano free.  The ultimate goal is to guarantee our parish a pool of youth piano players that are competent to play for all types of liturgies.  All students must have their own instruments.
