Cantors

Due to COVID-19, we are currently not auditioning new cantors. We hope to be able to review this July 30, 2021. Sorry!

Cantors at the parish are vocalists that demonstrate exceptional vocal ability, desire to minister, and command of Catholic liturgy. These musicians work very closely with the Director of Music Ministry, William Paul Freeman, and Organist, Steve Borzage. At the parish we utilize both volunteer and professional cantors. Professional cantors are paid a competitive rate above diocesan norms.

To schedule an audition to become a cantor at St. Anthony of Padua, please contact the Director of Music Ministry, William Paul Freeman.
