Music is an integral part of Good Shepherd's liturgical life. It enhances the prayer and participation of the congregation. There are many opportunities for musicians of all ages, instrumentalists and singers, to use their talents to bring God's people closer to Him through musical prayer. For information on any of these opportunities, contact Jean Leicht at the parish office.
