Ss. Mary and Paul
Catholic Church
Mineral Point, Wisconsin
Welcome to our Eucharistic community of
faith, service, and love of God and neighbor.
Liturgical Music at St. Mary's & St. Paul's
Our Masses are fully active and participatory. Our liturgical musicians are a great aid to
ensure that we have both a prayerful and and participatory atmosphere at Mass. All Masses are
lead by a cantor and accompanist with instrumentalists. We have an Adult Choir that sings regularly
and a contemporary musical group. Youth singers provide and lead music for religious education Masses.
