The music ministry program plays
a very important role in the Church. Music encourages a conscious
and active participation from the assembly during liturgical celebrations
so that we can more fully recognize ourselves as the "Body
of Christ." Our music ministry is very active in the pastoral
life of the community as well as supporting the prison ministry,
faith formation program, and those celebrating the sacraments
of the church. We are thankful for the many opportunities to minister
to this community through our gifts of music. We invite you to
share your musical gifts with the Catholic Community of Pleasanton.
The music ministries of the
Catholic Community of Pleasanton are under the guidance of Joe
Hébert -- a talented tenor and an accomplished cellist
-- who has served as music director since 1990. The
primary accompanist for the parish is Ira Stein, a recording artist
with Windam Hill and Narada.
Please contact Joe Hébert if you are
interested in participating in the music ministry program,
484-5020 or at jhebert@catholicsofpleasanton.org.
We remind ourselves of
God's wonderful presence through our sharing the awesome gift
of God's love. Our challenge is to share our gifts . . . to find
new ways to love others . . . bring hope to people around us.
The glimpses we have of God come through our willingness to share
what we have . . . We must never give up on the search to open
our hearts fully to God's call.
