A cantor leads and sustains the singing of the assembly during liturgy and proclaims the psalm.
A cantor at St. Peter Church is required to be a parishioner of the parish, be a talented vocalist, be well prepared for their appointed Mass, have a good sense of flow in the liturgy, possess a clear speaking voice and exhibit proper poise and presence in this role of leadership.
Cantor direction is provided on an individual basis, as needed. There is no regular “rehearsal”. For this reason, many talented singers who cannot commit to a regular choir practice find that joining the Cantor Ministry enables them to use their talent to serve the Lord in a way that is flexible with demanding work and family schedules.
The Cantor Ministry is directed by Anne Simpson, Vocal Director of Music. Please call Anne at 985.893.2535 for more information.
