Your great love of music and musical talent have led you to serve the Church as a cantor, song leader, and psalmist. The ministry of cantor is an essential part of the Church’s worship; it helps the flow of liturgical prayer, adds beauty and artistry to the celebration, and enlivens the words that express Catholic beliefs—all which lead the assembly into an encounter with the presence of Christ.

This third edition has been updated with enhanced content and features. As part of the Liturgical Ministry Series®, this book is grounded in Church doctrine and liturgical practice, and follows a format that provides both the newly formed minister and the experienced minister with basic skills and theological insights in order to perform their ministry well and in a Christlike manner. Guide for Cantors provides:

  • Theological and historical reflections on the liturgy and the ministry
  • Practical skills-building and advice for serving in this role
  • Ways to deepen your spirituality and call to discipleship
  • Answers to frequently asked questions
  • Recommended resources
  • A glossary
  • Questions for discussion and reflection

"What an incredible resource for the beginning cantor! From the very first pages one understands the responsibility, joy, blessing and honor it is to be a cantor. The authors take the reader on a wonderful walk through the steps of caring for one’s voice, embracing the sung word and how to prepare for a liturgy. The final chapters spent on the spirituality of the ministry are priceless! As a cantor colleague reading the new edition has stoked the fires of my ministry. Well done good and faithful servants!!!”

Barbara-Ann Britton, Cantor | San Marco Catholic Church | Marco Island, FL

"Whether you are a master cantor or novice, strengthen your ministry with this resource to continue your journey! Read how the role of the cantor ministry interfaces with history, liturgical documents, spirituality and discipleship. Don’t settle for proficiency, You are not just playing the role of cantor; you are also living the role.”

Rosemarie Gondek, NPM Intermediate Cantor Certificate Administrator | Designated Cantor Trainer and Cantor Colleague Certificate recipient

“Guide for Cantors is a treasured companion for new and experienced cantors. This book paints a clear picture of the roles of the cantor, the liturgical context, and the practical aspects of fulfilling this ministry in a prayerful and impactful manner. The insightful reflection questions invite the cantor to extend the spirit of this ministry beyond the ambo and into everyday life.”

Gail Hartin, PhD, Curriculum Projects Administrator | NPM Cantor Certificate Committee
