Our Mission
Our Mission
Our mission is to promote and support the sacred song of the congregation and enhance the sung prayer of the sacred liturgy.
"God has bestowed upon his people the gift of song. God dwells within each human person, in the place where music takes its source.
Indeed, God, the giver of song, is present whenever his people sing his praises."
- Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship, USCCB, c2007, page 8
Who We Are
Who We Are
The Queen of Peace Choir is a joyful and faith filled group of folks! Some are experienced singers and others are singing with a choir for the first time in their lives. Together, these music loving volunteers are committed to singing the Lord's praise and hope to inspire all to deeper prayer with God.
NEW CHOIR MEMBERS should come to the church for vocal placement on Wednesday Sept 24, 2025 from 6:30-7:30pm. MEN's Voices especially needed to balance out the altos and sopranos. No experience needed.
CHOIR will be closed for NEW members after Sept. 24.
Instrumentalists add accompanied solo pieces for meditative prayer and obligato parts on congregational hymns and songs. Music is provided to instrumentalists. Rehearsals are scheduled at times convenient for the player and accompanist. If you would like to play for a weekend Mass, please introduce yourself to the organist after Mass or email qopmusic@queenofpeaceocala.com
Cantors are experienced, skilled, volunteer singers committed to the ministry of music as individuals sharing their talents to lead the congregation in sung prayer. Cantors are expected to dedicate home practice time in addition to meeting with the organist before Mass.
CANTOR AUDITIONS are Wednesday Sept. 17, 5pm-7:30pm.
Contact Marianne at qopmusic@queenofpeaceocala.com for details and music to audition.
