Music Ministry

Mr. Paul Shafer, Minister of Music

Office: 810 329-7801

Email: Pshafer@stmarysstclair.org

Music and song are more than an embellishment of worship; they are themsevles part of the liturgical action.  Solemn sacred music..... is not therefore a kind of addition that frames the liturgy and makes it more pleasing but an important means of active participation in worship.

Pope Benedict, XVI; Alte Kapelle, Regensburg
