Our Commitment to Music
The first Sunday that I came back to church in person, it was definitely a feeling of joy to hear Gabe at the organ which overwhelmed me with tears. It was wonderful for me to see smiling faces, hear voices singing, listen closely to the readings, and recite prayers together that made my soul rejoice. Things now looked different for me than before the pandemic!

Providing musical leadership and inspiration to the liturgy
St. Patrick-St. Anthony takes pride in its vibrant music ministry! Our music program includes hymnody and songs from all corners of the world. It strives to instill in every member of the congregation a passion for word and sound and an eagerness to express this passion through singing and playing.
St. Patrick-St. Anthony Church is well known for its exuberant music and bold programming, which permeate every liturgy. The unparalleled acoustics of our exquisite nineteenth-century brownstone church allow for the colorful sounds from our singers and organists to be woven together in blended harmony, as they lead the congregation in reverent worship. To this end, the professional and amateur musicians in the music ministries foster congregational singing and reflective listening, promote the musical arts as an integral path to spiritual development, and create an environment that draws people into a deeper experience of faith.
