Christine Marté

Christine Marté is a lifelong musician and longtime participant of music ministries and more here at CtR.
 
Christine moved to Houston with her husband and three children in 1993. She quickly joined the choir. At that time, the choir had fewer than ten singers – now it has nearly 60. She became a cantor and sang with the Contemporary Ensemble for a time. She has been blessed to be able to participate in Archdiocesan choirs, including the Co-cathedral Dedication Choir, singing in Rome with the Festival Choir when Daniel Cardinal DiNardo was elevated to Cardinal, and singing at Carnegie Hall with the Archdiocesan Choir.
 
In 2000, Christine joined the parish pastoral staff to work for the CtR Prep School, now the Genesis Early Childhood Program. She transitioned to Music Assistant several years later.
 
As the Music Assistant, Christine takes care of the choirs, which includes making sure they have their music, coordinating the cantors, working with the Choristers and Youth Singers, and working with and corresponding with parents. Christine also creates the weekly worship aids for mass and other liturgies, as well as the online worship aid and readings for the livestream. As a CtR parishioner, she serves as a Baptism cantor and lector at daily and weekend masses.
 
Christine lives near CtR and has been married to her husband, André, since 1985. They have three grown children and three grandchildren, who bring immeasurable joy to her life.
