Rebecca Williams

Music Director
[email protected]

Rebecca has been our music director since 1993. In that capacity, she makes sure that there is music for all our Masses on weekends as well as Masses requiring music on other special days, plus weddings and funerals. She can be found at the Saturday evening Mass and the 10 a.m. Sunday Mass every weekend, plus the Spanish Mass. She trains the Teen Band, and the children’s choir in bell ringing.

From her lack of accent, one would never know Rebecca was born and raised in the Deep South. Upon graduating cum laude from Vanderbilt University, she joined the Peace Corps, teaching music in Barbados. After that she toured with R&B, reggae and "Top 40's" groups. This mother of two daughters in college describes herself as a news junkie.
