The music ministry at Saint Anne exists to enable the sung prayer of the whole assembly, as well as to add its unique contribution of harmony and various sonorities of instruments. All of the efforts of the many people who make up our music ministry are oriented toward the goal of raising hearts and minds to God through active participation in music and song. To this end, we have several choirs and instrumentalists.
