Good Shepherd is a suburban parish of 1,800 families in the Kansas
City, Kansas area. Music is coordinated by a full-time music
director for a 30 member SATB choir, a contemporary youth
ensemble, a Spanish ensemble and two additional music groups
covering four English and one Spanish Mass each weekend. Our
parish serves as a Hispanic Ministry Center for the region.
Bilingual liturgies are celebrated together on special occasions.
These groups consist of volunteers. The cantors are accompanied on
the piano, guitar, bass and keyboard with occasional woodwinds,
brass and strings. A variety of music styles are used within each
liturgy by using the Gather 3rd Edition, Spirit & Song I &
II and Flor y Canto hymnals with an occasional psalm from the
Spirit & Psalm hymnal.
