St. Gerard is a singing community! Hymns, psalms, Eucharistic Acclamations and ritual music deepens and enriches our worship at Mass.

To lead the assembly in sung prayer, our cantors, accompanists, and choir prepare well! 

Our liturgical music, accompanied by piano, guitar, and our historic Bennett pipe organ. blends traditional and contemporary hymnody deeply rooted in the theology of the Church.

To share your gift of voice or instrument with our community, contact Rick McLaughlin at (210) 887-7425 or [email protected].
