The Folk Group explores the richness of sacred contemporary music with varied instrumentation and improvised harmonization. The Songsters were formed in 1992 out of a desire to introduce Gospel worship and Black Catholic spirituality to St. Matthias. Their music is taken from traditional Gospel, contemporary Gospel and the Black Catholic hymnal, Lead Me Guide Me. This special process is adapted for children and young people seeking initiation into the Catholic Church. Community service and social activities are the main goals of this group.
Meetings consist of prayer, planning and fellowship.
A project is planned every other month to reach out to a needy group in the community.
