"Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD; cry out to the rock of our salvation. Let us greet him with a song of praise, joyfully sing out our psalms." (Psalm 95:1-2)
The music ministry is eager to provide quality leadership through music that encourages complete participation of the congregation in sung prayer. We need YOU to get involved. Our ministry depends on the members of St. Francis Xavier to bring their talents forward to lead the music. Please consider sharing your gifts of song with us!

This choir is for any child in the parish who would like to participate in the Children's Choir. The children sing several times during the school year. Through their involvement with the choir, children are introduced to Catholic songs, and are taught the basics of choral singing, but most important of all...it is FUN! Practice begins at 3:30 - 4:30 on Tuesday afternoons beginning September 13th . Please contact Nancy Grundhoefer at 871-1153 for more information, or complete our online form to receive more information.
