Experience the Joy of Singing -- in the Choir!
If you love to sing, treat yourself to the joy of choir ministry.  Imagine yourself singing beautiful music for Christmas Midnight Mass, Easter, and Sundays at 10:30 am --”praying twice” -- expressing your love of God by helping our San Carlos community sing its praise! The choir sings motets, contemporary hymns, jazz-style twice a year, chants, and anthems. 

If you like the idea of joining a
small group of singers who contemplate scripture, learn, work toward perfection in spite of imperfection, laugh, and pray for one another, the Holy Spirit may be prompting you to join our choir. Call Karen at 373-2628, x 11 or see a Choir member for more information.  You may also e-mail Karen, klips@sancarloscathedral.org.

Practices are regularly on Wednesday from
7 to 8:45 pm in Cathedral Hall, except for the summer break and the Wednesdays after Christmas and Easter. Our choir also assists with special Triduum liturgies in Holy Week

The 2008 summer break begins June 11, with no further practices until August 13.  Choir will not sing at Mass between June 15 and July 6, but will resume Sundays at 10:30 am on July 13 with whichever members are not away on personal vacations, and will have just a short practice before Mass. August 13 marks the return to regular Wednesday practices—again with anyone on personal vacation excused.  Following Labor Day, Choir is back in full swing.

Faith Formation for Children - our team of catechists needs you!
If you enjoy children and sharing your Catholic faith, prayerfully consider giving of your time and talent to build up the kingdom of God's children. They are waiting to be enriched through stories, parables, songs and experiences of your own faith journey. Vibrant stories of faith create faith-filled communities where children grow and flourish. You will obtain a sense of personal reward in contributing to our future.

On Sunday mornings throughout the year, children over the age of four are invited to experience the Sunday readings in a small group setting during Children's Liturgy of the Word at the 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM masses. Through song and discussion, they reap the benefit of prayer and gain knowledge of God's love for them.

On Tuesday afternoons at 4:00 PM, children attending our public schools are invited to join us in studying the Catholic Faith. Special focus is placed on sacramental preparation, while children are taught and encouraged to continue growing in their faith throughout their years.

If you have questions about joining our team of catechists, please call Cynthia, 831.373.2628, or send e-mail to cfriesen@sancarloscathedral.org, for more information.

Salt and LIght Ministry
San Carlos’ social justice ministry, Salt & Light, promotes the values, principles and practices that lead us to actively live the social justice teachings of our faith. We believe that by gaining a greater knowledge of Catholic Social Teaching and an increased awareness of existing social injustices, we will be better able to participate in activities that promote a just society, including advocating for public policy as a member of COPA. In this way, we follow the Gospel call into a relationship of solidarity with all of God's people. Read More ...
