Discover St. Mary’s Music on Spotify
The Music Ministry at St. Mary’s has an exciting feature for our parishioners. If you have a computer, tablet or smartphone, and want to be able to listen to Christian music, with playlists of songs created by our music director, then this is for you! St. Mary’s has set up a free web-based Spotify account for our parishioners, offering you the free opportunity to be able to listen to inspiring and comforting faith based music, whenever you like!
If you have access to the web, and have set up a free Spotify account (email Pam Cross for instructions at p.cross@shoplegacy.com) then you will be able to enjoy our parish music playlists. If you have already installed Spotify on your device, then all you need to do is click on the name of the playlist you want and your computer will open to our St. Mary’s Spotify playlist of your choice. Simply choose which music you want to listen to and enjoy!
TIP: If your music stops playing the whole way through, this means your computer isn't recognizing your free Spotify account. Just login in at Spotify.com and it should start working for you again.
Since we can’t visit as a parish family at this time, we thought we could at least bring a little of St. Mary’s & St. Philip's music to you. We've added some awesome new playlists (see below) for everyone to enjoy. In order to listen, all you need to do is install the Free Spotify player (in the App store on your phone, or online at Spotify.com). Just log into your player first, and then click on the playlist of your choice to listen to our music. Enjoy!
We currently offer music in the contemporary style at our 10:30 a.m. Sunday mass and would like to invite singers and instrumentalists to join our band. Rehearsals are on Thursday nights at 6:30 p.m. in the church, beginning September 9th. During the summer, we rehearse at 9:45 a.m. in the church. All are welcome!
If you’d like to hear the type of music we’re playing, just check out our St. Mary's Spotify and listen to the Contemporary Songs playlist (see the information to the right for more Spotify information).
All children are invited to join the St. Mary’s Children’s Choir. Rehearsals are from 8:45-9:15 a.m. each Sunday morning in the church by the piano. We sing every Sunday at the10:30 mass October-May. You can also choose to just sing on the first Sunday of the month - you choose the level of participation that works for you! At 9:15 Mrs. Cross will walk the children to the hall to meet for religious education class.
Come and join the fun!
