Music Ministry

The St. Kevin Music Ministry, directed by Bryan and Maryann Barrette, provides liturgical music for Mass celebrations, wedding, funeral ceremonies, and special celebrations such as First Communion, Confirmation, and holy days. The ministry also includes a parish community choir that sings on Sundays at the 10 a.m. Mass from September through June. The choir also sings at Christmas and Easter Masses, special celebrations such as Confirmation, graduation, and at special parish concerts on Christmas and Memorial Day.

The choir is open to anyone age 15 or older who enjoys singing. Prior experience or reading of music notation are not required, only the love of music and a willingness to donate your time is needed. We also encourage those who may play an instrument and do read music to consider joining and offering their talents.

The choir rehearses on Wednesday evenings from 7 p.m. until about 8:45 p.m. We understand that life sometimes gets in the way, so if you aren’t able to attend every rehearsal and every choir Mass you are still welcome to participate!  We have a lot of fun, sing some beautiful music, and make people smile. Please consider joining us!

If you are interested in participating in the St. Kevin music ministry, please come up and see us after Mass on the weekends, call us at home at (401) 737-1662, or send an email to musicministry@saintkevinri.org
