The Archdiocese of St. Louis strives to teach and share our faith, serve others, and foster unity throughout the St. Louis area. Once a part of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary's campus, the Cardinal Rigali Center in Shrewsbury, MO is today the headquarters and curia (governing body) for the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
The Cantor serves as a leader of sung prayer within the liturgical life of the parish. This minister helps foster the full, conscious, and active participation of the congregation through song and proclamation of the Responsorial Psalm and other sung parts of the Mass. The Cantor’s role is both musical and spiritual, serving as a visible witness to faith and a guide for the assembly’s worship.
Lead congregational singing at weekend Masses, holy days, weddings, funerals, and other liturgical celebrations as assigned.
Proclaim the Responsorial Psalm and Gospel Acclamation with clarity, reverence, and musical skill.
Collaborate with the Music Director and clergy in selecting appropriate liturgical music that aligns with the readings, liturgical season, and Church guidelines.
Attend rehearsals and prepare assigned music in advance of each liturgy.
Encourage and support active participation by the assembly through confident, prayerful leadership.
Demonstrate understanding of the liturgy and the cantor’s role as a minister of sung prayer, not as a performer.
Participate in ongoing formation, including vocal training and liturgical education, as recommended by the parish or diocese.
Model Christian values and professionalism in demeanor, dress, and communication.
Strong vocal ability with clear diction, intonation, and expression suited to liturgical music.
Basic music reading skills and familiarity with Catholic liturgical repertoire.
Understanding of Catholic liturgy, including the structure of the Mass and liturgical calendar.
Ability to lead the assembly confidently and prayerfully, both a cappella and with accompaniment.
Reliable, punctual, and spiritually grounded, with a desire to serve the worshiping community.
Prior experience as a cantor or liturgical musician preferred.
