The heavenly sound
of the Lord’s little ones reminds us of Jesus’
words, “From the lips of children and infants you
have ordained praise.” A fun, yet rewarding
experience for any child, and a wonderful
opportunity for musical and spiritual growth.
Youth
Choir
(grades 4-8)

Sings at weekday school Masses and at one or more

close as it gets to Angels singing. Youth love
having fun and being part of something special, and
this ensemble certainly fits the bill! A great way
to get girls and boys involved, while
learning the great songs of our faith. As Jesus
said, “To such as these the Kingdom of God belongs.”
All youth are welcome!
