Daryel Nance

St. Vincent de Paul’s Music Ministry serves our parish community by calling forth “sung prayer” from our worshipers at Mass, and at other times of prayer in song. Daryel conducts, trains, and serves our canters, adult vocal ensembles and instrumentalists who support these sung prayers in our parish worship, and as keyboardist accompanies much of our music, as organist or pianist. Having a technology background too, Daryel is also responsible for the technology support of our daily internet livestreaming, and over time has performed technology support for other technology-based needs.
