Ministries
Church ministry is important part of our Catholic faith. Jesus called us to proclaim the Word of God and to serve others. By being part of ministries, you support and nurture the Church and grow together in faith as a whole congregation. Please check the description for each ministry below. God is calling You!
It is very important that all ministers are active practising Catholics coming to every Sunday Mass and going to Confession regularly. If married, must be married in the Catholic Church. Ministers are the advocates of our Catholic faith.

Praise and glory to God by singing and praying is the ultimate goal of the choir at Mass. The treasures of liturgy breathe life through animated music of worship along with praise and glory.
Under the direction of Tony Cuzzetto, Choir Master & Cantor, and Sarah Lee, Musical Administrative Director/Cantor, the members of the Sacred Heart Cathedral High Mass Choir sing at the 11:30 AM Mass every Sunday except for July & August. The Choir is also a major part of the Christmas and Holy Week liturgies. The Choir rehearses in the Choir loft on Sunday mornings at 10:30 AM, prior to the 11:30 AM Mass. The majority of the hymns, in a blend of classical and contemporary styles, used in the Cathedral are from our hymnal: Journey Songs. The Responsorial Psalms sung during Sunday liturgies are taken from Psalms for Sundays and Solemnities found in our hymnal. The Choir is open to anyone with a passion for singing praise to God and a desire to learn choral music. Choir members that desire to take the occasional lead as a cantor also have the opportunity to do so. New members are always welcome! If you would like to be a full-time or part-time member, please come to one of our rehearsals prior to the 11:30 am Mass or contact Tony Cuzzetto 250-319-7536.
