Cantoring For God

 

 

The Soul's Prayer

The cantor is responsible for leading the congregation in prayerful song. It is said to sing a prayer is to pray twice. If you would like to volunteer your vocal gift to help others sing to God, please contact Barbara Theate at 215-333-0442 or email her at olc_btate@comcast.net.


What is involved?

Cantors use keywords and actions from the priest as signals to begin leading the song for that part of the mass. Cantors are needed for cantoring the 5PM Saturday mass, the 9AM and 11AM Sunday masses, and special occasions (feasts and holidays).
