Use your gifts to Praise Him! Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. Psalm 33:3 At Our Lady of Peace, we believe that praise and worship are an active, dynamic, integral link between God and His people. This ministry seeks to serve Him humbly in a spirit of excellence through music and to lead others into His presence so that we glorify God as one body with one voice through one Spirit. Opportunities to be a part of this ministry are available for those gifted with musical ability and have the desire to serve. The OLOP Youth Choir Young parishioners between grades 3 through 8 who enjoy singing are encouraged to join the Youth Choir. Fall Rehearsals: Thursday nights 7:00 PM - 7:45 PM starting first week of October. Youth must have good pitch ability.
