Music

St. Mary's has a wonderful history and background of making joyous noise!

Music at St. Mary's can be as diverse as its worship services. Although final authority over the music used in our is "the duty of every Minister" (Canon 24, Section 1), our hymnal draws all parishioners together muscially in the same way that the Book of Common Prayer draws us together in prayer and litergy. Most recently revised in 1982, The Hymnal of the Episcopal Church offers 720 hymns in addition to liturgical music. While some of the hymns date back to monastic chants, the hymnal offers more modern music as well.
