ENSEMBLES
Youth Choir
Youth choir is open to singers between the ages of 7 and 16. The youth choir sings at Mass once per month, as well as special liturgical feasts throughout the year. Our choir season begins in September and ends in May. This ensemble is perfect for the budding learner and gives the youngest of our flock a place to use their talents and make new friends. Students in high school are given the opportunity to cantor through this ensemble. If your child is interested in participating in this program, please contact Naomi.
