This committee is also involved in the music provided for services and worship aides, as well as seasonal decoration of the church and special feasts of the liturgical year.

Music Ministries

At St. Peter Parish, we believe in giving all parishioners many different opportunities to participate in Masses or special events. One of the many ways people can participate is by singing in one of the choirs directed by John Puchner. If you are interested in partaking in any of the musical aspects of our parish, you can find information on the different choirs offered, and you can find John’s contact information below!


To get involved in any of the following musical ministries, please contact our Director of Music, John Puchner at john.puchner@stpeterslinger.org.


Contemporary Music Combo

This Contemporary Music Combo is made up of instrumentalists, and is a smaller, more tightly focused group, whose music is more contemporary, made for soloists or small groups. They most often lead the 10:30 am Mass. Practice is weekly on Sundays at 8:30 am. 


Sacred Choir

The Sacred Choir sings once a weekend, and focuses on fairly traditional music. Practice is weekly on Wednesdays from 7:15-8:45 pm.


SING!

The SING! group sings up to three times a month, including leading music at Sunday Night Adoration service once a month and 5:00 pm service on Saturdays. This group focuses on more contemporary music made for a large group or to lead the congregation in song. This group is flexible, in that it may join with Sacred Choir for important Masses, or with Contemporary Combo on occasion at 10:30 am Mass. 

Practice is weekly on Wednesdays from 6:00 - 7:00 pm.

Prayer Line

Prayer Line accepts requests for prayers which may be needed by members of the parish and their immediate families during times of emergency or illness. Individuals are always encouraged to become members of the prayer line and pray for the needs of others. No meetings. Members are contacted by phone as requests for prayer occur.
