Christ the Redeemer Music Ministry

- God has bestowed upon his people the gift of song.
  God dwells within each human person, in the place where music takes its source.
  Indeed, God, the giver of song, is present whenever his people sing his praise.
  (Sing to the Lord, Music in Divine Worship)
- Because of the dangers of spreading the COVID-19 virus by singers, most of our singing groups have been suspended for the time being. Please pray for those affected in so many ways by this pandemic.

CtR Pipe Organ Project
- Learn More About the CtR Pipe Organ Project
- Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church is excited to announce its next step in the journey toward creating a more heavenly liturgy. The CtR Pipe Organ Project will allow parishioners to directly engage in bringing a pipe organ, which is uniquely suited for leading large assemblies, in singing the acclamations, hymns, and Psalms at Mass in a way we never have before.
Resources for CtR Groups & Ministries
- As a CtR group or ministry, you may want to incorporate music into your meetings or gatherings, whether through printed worship aids or displaying music on a screen. There are specific procedures the church must follow when reprinting music, even when only displaying the words. We ask you to contact the Music Department when preparing music for an event. We are happy to help and serve you!
