We are very lucky to have two beautiful musical instruments that support and enhance the liturgical music at Blessed Sacrament Church. As a result of the generous giving of our parishioners, we have an Allen RL 58 three manual organ, and a Baldwin Grand piano.
The Music Ministry of Blessed Sacrament Parish fosters the art of Musical Liturgy. Recognizing the human voice as the primary musical instrument, all our efforts are geared toward motivating and supporting the voice of the assembly.
“Obedient to Christ and to the Church, we gather in liturgical assembly, week after week. As our predecessors did, we find ourselves singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in our hearts to God. This common, sung expression of faith within liturgical celebrations strengthens our faith when it grows weak and draws us into the divinely inspired voice of the Church at prayer. Faith grows when it is well expressed in celebration. Good celebrations can foster and nourish faith. Poor celebrations may weaken it. Good music makes the liturgical prayers of the Christian community more alive and fervent so that everyone can praise and beseech the Triune God more powerfully, more intently and more effectively.” (Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, 5)
