“Music ministry is not simply a role to fill or a talent to share—it is a vocation, a calling from God to serve through beauty, prayer, and song. Those who answer this call do more than make music; they give voice to the faith of the Church, helping others to pray when words alone are not enough. In every rehearsal, every hymn, every quiet moment of preparation, there is a deeper “yes” being spoken—a willingness to let one’s gifts become a vessel for something greater. We remember this truth in light of the inspiration of Fr. Jim, whose life as a musician reflected the heart of this calling. He showed that music ministry is not about performance, but about offering—lifting minds and hearts to God and drawing a community together in worship. His legacy reminds us that when music is rooted in faith, it becomes more than sound; it becomes prayer, service, and a lasting witness to the presence of God.” 𝘋𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘦𝘭 𝘒𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘤, 𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤 Resurrection Parish Music Ministry

“Those who are called to the table of the Lord must glow with the brightness that comes from the good example of a praiseworthy and blameless life. They must learn from the eminent teacher, Jesus Christ.”
ST. JOHN OF CAPISTRANO

Lord Jesus,

Fill them with courage, wisdom, and holiness
