Providing music for the faithful.

Music Ministry.

St. Jane Frances de Chantal welcomes all who wish to participate in our Music Ministry. Opportunities for singers and instrumentalists are plentiful, no matter what your level of expertise. If you enjoy music, singing, or playing an instrument for the Lord, you are welcome here.

Each weekend liturgy may feature different musicians or music styles based on performer availability.

For more information on all aspects of our Music Ministry, please contact Janina Jacobs at JJacobs@sjfparish.org or by calling 586-977-8080, ext. 103.

Digital Music Series

We are pleased to offer our Digital Music Series. Join Janina Jacobs, Director of Music at St. Jane Frances de Chantal, as she performs music fit for Ordinary Time. You’ll feel like you’re back in Mass—while in the comfort of your own home!

Our Parish Choir

The choir meets most Wednesdays from 7:00pm—8:30pm in the Church. We usually do not meet on the first Wednesday of the month but replace that with rehearsal the last Sunday of the month between masses, from 10:00am until 11:15am in the Chapel. There may be special rehearsals outside of those dates, so watch the parish calendar for details. The Choir meets from mid-September to June.

Cantor Program

If you wish to become part of this program, please see Janina after mass or contact her at the parish office or via email. Knowledge of music or the ability to sightread is preferred. Cantor practice is normally held the second Sunday of the month in between masses from 10:00am until 11:15am.

Instruments in Praise (IIP)

We welcome anyone who plays an instrument to join us in worship. Normally IIP plays the first and third Saturdays of the month at 4:00pm mass. There may be separate rehearsals for musicians, but you can also work independently to learn your music and often will rehearse along with the choir. On other Saturdays, you’ll hear our Gospel Choir, which is a more freeform style of music. You are welcome to join us as well.

Children's Choir and Hand Chimes

Currently, there is no children’s choir, but we do have the Multi-Generational Hand Chimes Chorus. Fawn Kopas leads this group and may be reached by calling the parish office at 586-977-8080. Family members of all ages are welcome and encouraged to participate. The Hand Chimes Group plays periodically at mass.

The Angels and Inspiration Music Series

We invite chorale groups, symphonies, ensembles, solo artists, duets, trios, bands, orchestras, or anyone who would like to perform at St. Jane’s as part of this exciting series. Concerts are scheduled periodically from September through June.

Christmas Choir

For those who do not wish to make a full commitment to the Choir, please consider joining us for Christmas. Holiday rehearsals will begin in October.
