"The importance of song in our celebration of Liturgy cannot be overstated; it sets the tone throughout our worship. It begins with our gathering song and unites us as a holy people. Song has the power to unite us in the mystery of Christ’s presence in the Eucharist. If one person chooses not to sing, then we cannot all be united as a congregation." - Bishop Joseph A. Fiorenza
God has bestowed upon his people the gift of song. The primary role of music in the liturgy is to help the members of the gathered assembly to join themselves with the action of Christ and to give voice to the gift of faith. The Music Ministry of the Catholic Community of Pleasanton strives to lead and inspire our parish family to praise God with our instruments and voices at weekend liturgies and other parish services through-out the year.  Please come and share your faith in song and prayer. Your parish needs you!
