Music

The music ministry at St James the Greater serves as a living bridge for uniting our hearts to each other and our hearts to our eternal loving Creator. Music, an integral part of every liturgical celebration, helps us to unite in prayer, proclaim the words of the Gospel, and strengthen us on the road that the Lord has called us to walk. Our parish is blessed with a variety of choirs and music opportunities that serve our English, Spanish, Children's, Teen, and African communities. The ministry is currently coordinated by Mike Giacalone.

To learn more about joining the Music Ministry, please contact the Parish Office. We will be happy to provide information about rehearsal schedules and opportunities to serve.
