🎹 Share Your Musical Gifts This Summer
Do you have a heart for music and a desire to serve? St. Joseph’s Music Ministry seeks pianists to accompany our 11 am Mass choir in June, July, and August. This is a wonderful opportunity to explore music ministry and contribute to our worship services.
The primary responsibility will be accompanying congregational singing during Sunday Masses at St. Joseph, which includes a diverse repertoire of hymns. Intermediate and advanced sight-reading skills are a great asset.
- Music prepared in advance: Our music coordinator will select hymns ahead of time, allowing ample time for preparation.
- Supportive environment: Support is available to help you feel confident and equipped.
- Flexible commitment: No need to commit to every Sunday—we’re happy to start a rotation list!
For more information or to express interest, or to ask for some sheet music to review, please contact Lia at music@stjosephcalgary.com

Trinity Sunday
Hearing these words of Jesus in the resurrection light brings understanding. The Spirit will guide the community, the community that cannot know everything about Jesus at that moment, the community that is unable as yet to understand all that Jesus said and did. Our God continues to reveal, to speak to our hearts, and to guide us into truth.
- Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the original small community, as it were, models for us how we are to be as church. We are called to live in harmony and peace. How can we build a more relational world based on the Trinity?
- How can we deepen the harmony of family life this week?
- Take 15 minutes of quiet this week to invite God into your company.
(Reflection: Diocese of Saskatoon)
