Welcome to St. Marianne Cope Music Ministry!

Here at St. Marianne Cope we have a rich and unique musical heritage, and it is the goal of our music ministers to enhance and enrich the prayer of our gathered congregation. Through the hard work of many talented and enthusiastic volunteer ministers, St. Marianne Cope's music ministry leads the community in song at many liturgies throughout year, in the form of five choirs, several cantors, and instrumentalists.

Cantors and Choirs
