“O sing a new song to the Lord,
sing to the Lord all the earth. 
O sing to the Lord, bless his name.” (Psalm 96:1-2)

“We are celebrating when we involve ourselves meaningfully in the thoughts, words, songs, and gestures of the worshipping community—when everything we do is whole-hearted and authentic for us—when we mean the words and want to do what is done.”
- (Music in Catholic Worship, The Bishops’ Committee on the Liturgy)

Each of us, as members of the body of Christ at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, provides a most important music ministry to one another by our singing at liturgy.  It is an inspiring experience to be a part of a large group raising their hearts and voices in praise to the Lord.  All members of the assembly are cordially invited and encouraged to join their voice into our song; for an ancient proverb reminds us that the person who sings, prays twice.
