- about the
  cathedral's sacred music program
  
  The Cathedral of St. Bernard enjoys a very active and vibrant music ministry. There are many ways to become involved in our music ministry. You don't need to be a professional musician or have extensive experience reading music. All that's needed is a desire to glorify the Lord with the gift of your voice or musical talent!
  The ministry of Sacred Music encompasses:
  Choral Music
  Cantoring - leading the assembly in song
  Instrumentalist
  Accompanist
- the cathedral choir
  
  The cathedral has a choir of approximately 30 voices, and there is room to grow! If you feel called to the ministry of sacred music, please reach out to Alex and speak with him. The choir is a traditional four-part choir, and is responsible for leading the assembly in song during the 10:00am Mass on Sunday mornings. Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings from 7:00pm - 9:00pm. The Cathedral Choir also sings one or two choral anthems during each Mass.
- cantors
  
  Cantors play an integral part in the liturgy as they serve both as Psalmist and in helping to lead the assembly in song. Cantors are comfortable standing before the assembly and have a strong singing voice in order to help lead the assembly. The ability to read music is presumed. New cantors are welcome, by audition.
