St. Thomas More is a large (3500 registered families) suburban parish in Glendale, Arizona – part of the Diocese of Phoenix. We have four masses each weekend and each almost fill our 1500 seat church. Music at the 5pm Saturday and 11am Sunday masses is led by contemporary ensembles that each include six voices, plus piano, guitar, bass, drums and depending on the mass, flute, clarinet, sax and brass. The 7:30am mass is led by a vocal quartet with piano & flute and our 40 voice choir leads the music at 9am. We create our own worship aids, which allows us to use music from each of the major publishers and occasionally include local composers.
