  • Music ministry

                St. Francis Xavier parish music ministry works to bring vitality to our sung worship. Through the dedication and hard work of our pastoral musician staff and volunteers, under the Music Coordinator of Linden Uter, our parish enjoys a wide variety of beauty in liturgical music. Choral singers and instrumentalists who would like to enhance the celebration of Mass with their particular skills are invited to join the Adult Liturgical Choir at 10:00 AM Mass or the Contemporary Choir group at 6:00 PM Mass. Regular rehearsals are a requirement for participation. 
                 Contact: Linden Uter at 337-254-5780 


    Adult Liturgical Choir 

                Directed by Bart Folse, the Adult Liturgical Choir serves SFX Church from September through May, or as far as the feast of Pentecost, whichever comes last. Choir members rehearse 30 minutes before the 10:00 AM Mass and right after Mass till 11:45 AM. Singers are open to high school students and adults who enjoy singing, have a pleasing singing voice, and enjoy a variety of repertoire. 
                 Contact: Bart Folse, bfolse@stfrancisxavier.com or 504.834.0340.
     

    Contemporary Choir

                 Directed by Jamie Diliberto, the Contemporary Choir serves SFX Church year round and is open to high school students and adults who enjoy singing, have a pleasing singing voice, a basic knowledge of music reading skills, and enjoy praising God through contemporary liturgical music. Attendance at weekly Thursday evening rehearsals (7:00 – 8:30 PM) is mandatory for membership.
                  Contact: Jamie Diliberto, jamiediliberto@bellsouth.net or 504.258.8826

    Our Pipe Organ

                 This instrument was built in 1911 by Tellers-Sommerhof of Eire PA . Originally installed in Holy Trinity Church in New Orleans, the pipe organ was rebuilt by Roy Redman Pipe Organs of Forth Worth. This musical, mechanical wonder has 65 ranks, with over 3000 individual pipes. "We retained the historical sound and expanded the tonal resources by adding some new ranks of pipes and effects."
