Meet Worship and Liturgy Coordinator
Christina Dupré

Drawing Our Whole Parish Family Together in Prayer and Song
ince joining St. Joseph Parish staff as our Worship and Liturgy Coordinator, Christina Dupré has not only made big plans to use her many musical talents to aid in beautifying the liturgy but also to get as many others involved as she possibly can. This is also why she believes the title “coordinator” is so vital to her role. “Fr. Tim and I were very deliberate in coming up with my title when I came to St. Joseph’s,” Christina says. “It’s very important to me that the role is ‘coordinator’ — I’m not a director, but a coordinator. I like when people make things happen. I’m here to get others involved, especially the youth and teens. I want to bring people together to participate in the liturgy.” One of the primary aspects of Christina’s role is to coordinate the many ways music is used during the liturgy to enhance and aid the worship of the faithful. In particular, she is inspired by the various forms of media and music the Church uses to enhance its worship. “You never know who you affect,” she says. Moving forward as coordinator, Christina aims to blend classical music and contemporary Christian music into the repertoire of the parish. “I’m from France originally, but I came to the United States for education and decided to stay,” she says. “My background is in classical music and performing. But I love modern and contemporary Christian music.” continued on page 7
