The Blessed Sacrament Pastoral Music is two-fold. First, it provides an opportunity for parishioners who have musical talents and abilities to offer their gift of time and talent, which is their treasure, in service to their parish and the Lord. Second, music enhances and deepens our worship experience assisting the assembly to enter more easily into “full, conscious, active participation” in the liturgy.
“God has bestowed upon his people the gift of song. God dwells within each person, in the place where music takes its source. Indeed, God, the giver of song, is present whenever his people sing his praises.”
