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 praises...  (Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship, 2007) 

 

 

              

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Welcome to the St. Hugo of the Hills Music Department website! The primary choir of this community of faith is the gathered assembly, united in offering its song of praise and thanksgiving to God.  If you would like deepen your involvement in the Church's liturgy through music, there are many opportunities for adults and children.  For more information, please feel free to contact the Director of Music at 248-644-5460, ext. 2211, or by email: john.sittard@sthugo.org.
