Director of Music • Kathleen MacLean, 907-646-3008
The music program at Holy Family Cathedral includes four choirs, several cantors, guest organists and instrumentalists. Cathedral musicians are invited to participate in Archdiocesan liturgies at the Cathedral and at the Co-Cathedral. All Cathedral musicians are welcome to join one of the music groups. Ideas about music can be discussed with Father Steve or with Letha. A family and/or children’s choir as well as a contemporary choir are being considered. Our organ is an Allen Quantum 3 Manual Series Classical Organ.

Cantors • Kathleen MacLean, 907-646-3008
Cantors lead the congregational singing at the three English organ Masses: 530P Saturday and 930A and noon Sunday. This ministry requires some ability to read music and a commitment to weekly preparation and rehearsal.
