Music Ministries
"He who sings, prays twice." St. AugustineMusic is a vital component to our liturgical life at St. Victoria. Share your musical talents and help parishioners lift up their voices in prayer. We have opportunities in many different choirs (adults and children), instrumental needs, and even a bell choir!

Little Ringers is St. Victoria’s kids handbell ensemble. When the Children’s choir is providing music for Mass, the Little Ringers meet beforehand to provide prelude music before the Mass begins.
Cantors, Instrumentalists, Accompanists
Lend your voice or instrument (piano, organ, flute, trumpet, etc.) skills in leadership to the hymns, songs, and responses of the liturgy. These musicians meet 30 minutes before Mass to rehearse and prepare for the Mass. Musicians should be highly motivated, skilled, and capable of preparing music on their own.
