Music Ministry

Bowman Scholar ProgramThis program is named in honor of Sister Thea Bowman.

It is a group of music majors who are invited to help develop the music program at the Center in the spirit of Sr. Thea Bowman.

One of the main goals of this program is to create the foundation for training musicians and artists to serve Catholic parishes. Especially primarily Black congregations, across the nation and around the world.

Hospitality Ministers

Welcoming and Attending to the needs of guests during mass.
