Music has always played a vital role in the Catholic liturgy.  A rich tradition of
liturgical music has developed over the centuries and continues to evolve in the
church today. Music transforms our prayer into a higher form of expression and
helps unite the congregation in one voice of praise and celebration. The Church
of St. Timothy offers several opportunities for those interested in serving in this
vital and important ministry. Both of our choirs welcome new members
throughout the year.
