Liturgical Ministry

Liturgical Ministry volunteers focus on putting together celebrations that are reflective of God’s Grace in our parish community.

Art and Environment
This ministry creates the worship environment in the Church for the liturgical seasons throughout the year.  Extra volunteers are needed to decorate the Church for Advent, Christmas, Holy Week and Easter.

Choir– We will now have a combined choir of St. Constance and St. Robert Bellarmine members. We meet on Wednesdays at 7:30pm. The rehearsals take place at St. Constance in the Rectory Basement. The choir season begins mid September and ends with the feast of Pentecost, usually the end of May or early part of June.

Seeking cantors and instrumentalists! We welcome singers and musicians who can play flute, trumpet, string instruments for our masses at St. Constance or St. Robert Bellarmine campuses. Please contact mblecka@archchicago.org.

Hand Bell Choir– We are looking for those who are interested in learning to play Hand Bells. Hand Bells add such a beauty to the music that is played at mass! If you are interested, please contact mblecka@archchicago.org.
