Offices and Ministries in the Mass (GIRM #102)

The psalmist or cantor of the psalm is to sing the psalm or other biblical song that comes between the readings. To fulfill their function correctly, these psalmists should possess the ability to sing and an aptitude for correct pronunciation and diction.

Commentary: Singing as the cantor at Mass is a service to the community. If the person filling this role is not qualified to lead the community in song, he should be asked to minister in other ways. A restaurant would not tolerate a bad chef; neither should a parish suffer from a harsh, distracting voice in a leadership position. Engaging a cantor because "it's good for her," or even worse, "good for her ego" is getting the server and the served backwards.
