Special Choir Selections

(The choir has some special selections that are not found in the Missal. These can be chosen to be sung as Preludes, Offertory, Communion, or Communion Meditation songs. See additional sheets for lyrics.)

Our Parish Musicians and Resurrection Choir will play and sing at all parish funerals. If the family requests an outside vocalist or musician/instrumentalist, he/she may only sing or play one or two religious selections at Offertory, Communion, Communion Meditation, or Prelude. There must be prior approval with the Music Director. (It is very difficult for a close family member to play/sing at a loved one’s funeral, so this is not recommended and should be taken into consideration before a request is made.)

All printed programs must be reviewed and typed at the parish office, because attention must be given to correctness of Liturgical principles as well as careful observation of copyright laws.

Because of the sacred nature of the Catholic Liturgy, only religious music is to be done during the Mass or before Mass. The use of non-religious music should be reserved for the funeral home or reception.

Taped or pre-recorded music may not be used.

We, St. Joseph Catholic Church, strive to be a dynamic, Catholic faith community, following the example of Jesus Christ
