The Cantor leads the musical prayer at all Sunday liturgies, as well as Holy Days and other liturgical celebrations.
Cantors intone the Gloria, Responsorial Psalm, Gospel Acclamation, and any other musical parts designated for a cantor. The Cantor is usually located in the choir loft. Prospective Cantors should be able to sing and read music and be able to prepare music independently. Cantors join this ministry by audition, and experienced cantors are welcome.
