Music at St. Bede
Sacred Music in Liturgy glorifies God, lead the gathered to prayer, & inspire us to spread God's good news.
At all Liturgies, we utilize the vast treasury of Catholic music, from Gregorian Chant, Hymnody, polyphony, to choral anthems. Our ensembles support the assembly in sung prayer.
If you are interested in joining this ministry through singing, playing an instrument, or sound tech, St. Bede offers various ensembles for all ages that one can join.
