Welcome to St Mary's Parish Music Ministry in Derby, a vibrant and dedicated community located in beautiful New Haven County, Connecticut. Our ministry has been the heart and soul of St Mary's Parish for many years, bringing the joy of music to our worship services, events, and the wider community.
At St Mary's, music is an integral part of our worship experience, and we believe that it has the power to uplift, inspire, and connect people to one another and to God. Our talented and passionate musicians come from diverse backgrounds and bring a variety of musical skills and talents to our ministry. Their commitment to excellence and their love for music make St Mary's Parish a truly special place to worship.
We offer a wide range of musical experiences for people of all ages and abilities. Our talented choir leads our congregation in hymns, songs, and anthems during our weekly Masses, adding beauty and depth to our worship. We also have a contemporary ensemble that infuses modern styles into our worship, creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere.
In addition to our regular Masses, St Mary's Parish Music Ministry also organizes special events throughout the year. We host seasonal concerts, featuring both our choir and guest musicians, which are open to the public and eagerly anticipated by our community. These concerts provide an opportunity for people to come together and enjoy the power of music while celebrating their faith.
Our ministry also takes pride in reaching out to the wider community through music. We participate in local interfaith events, spreading the message of unity and peace through our musical performances. We often collaborate with other churches and organizations to create unforgettable and enriching musical experiences.
Not only does St Mary's Parish Music Ministry nourish the spiritual lives of our community members, but it also provides an outlet for individuals to express their love for music and share their gifts with others.
