Who Should Come? Music ministers from all Des Moines Diocese Catholic parishes. Pass the word to directors, adult choir members, youth and children’s choirs and their families, accompanists and instrumentals—and any grateful parishioners who love and support sacred and liturgical music!

May I invite others to come with me?

YES! Invite musicians who direct, sing, play instruments and support the music ministry in many ways to come and receive a special Blessing for their music ministry. Register yourself, others or send them this link: https://FeastofStCeceliaBlessingofMusiciansMass.eventbrite.com.

Can't I just show up that morning if it works out?

Yes, but we will have a special Worship Aid for the liturgy, so we want to be sure to print enough for each of us. It helps with planning for the food at the Fellowship Reception, too.
