About Us
"We are the People of the Good Shepherd, asking your blessings on our work.
Guide and unite us in our efforts, as we build community..."
'Mission Song: We Are the People', by Deacon Robert 'Bob' Killoren
Welcome to our Music Ministry homepage! Since Good Shepherd was founded in 1989, music has been an integral part of our liturgies. Over the years, our Ministry has taken on many forms, and many wonderful musicians have come and gone, but our goals haven't changed: bringing the spirit of God to the congregation through music, and have fun doing it!
Today, Good Shepherd's Music Ministry offers sung prayer in a variety of styles, while giving all the opportunity to grow and share their talents. Our groups are always looking for new members (even if you're only available sometimes). We'd invite any interested parishioners to join us -- no formal experience required!

Consisting of 4-8 vocalists, piano, guitar, percussion and (until recently) violin & mandolin, the 5 PM Music Ministry is an informal, conducted ensemble that plays folk, contemporary and (sometimes) traditional music. The group meets every Saturday at 4 PM to rehearse. All are invited to join us!
For more information, please visit our page or contact Cris Bloom.
The 8:30 AM Music Ministry joyfully welcomes all who love to bring the spirit of God to the congregation through music. Piano or organ-based, and often accompanied by saxophone, the ensemble sings a mix of traditional & contemporary hymns. We have rehearsals after mass in the chapel for the following Sunday. We would love to have you join us!
For more information, please visit our page or contact Barb Purdum.
The 10:30 AM Music Ministry tends toward contemporary music, but also sings beloved traditional hymns. Our singing is accompanied by piano, guitar, & bass (and sometimes other instruments such as saxophone). Instrumentalists and cantors rehearse on Sundays at 10 AM. All singers & instrumentalists are welcome in whatever capacity they feel comfortable!
