The youth group Joyful Noise draws teenagers, plus eighth graders through college-age young people, to provide vibrant contemporary music for Masses at Epiphany of Our Lord Church in Plymouth Meeting. The youths also serve as cantors, readers, ushers and choir members for Masses regularly at the parish, such as the Dec. 1 Mass for the first Sunday of Advent. (Photos by Sarah Webb)

I am always at Epiphany of Our Lord’s 9:30 Mass on Sundays. When Joyful Noise is present it is so good to see the Teens and College youth come and celebrate Mass with the fullness of Joy that Our Lord deserves. I praise God that Epiphany’s Youth ministry and Music ministry were able to come together to create such a “Joyful Noise.”
