The Youth Music Ministry serves at the 10:30am Mass every Sunday. This is a year-round ministry and we rehearse every Wednesday from 5:00-6:45pm in the church.
High School and Middle School Youth are welcome to audition for placement in one of 3 Choirs:
Choir I sings on the 4th Sunday of each month. This placement is for all new and inexperienced members who show the ability to reproduce correct pitches and learn new melodies accurately.
Choir II sings on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month. This placement is for those who have gained experience in Choir I and/or show a higher degree of proficiency learning music. Singers must also demonstrate an increased maturity in behavior at both rehearsal and Mass.
Choir III sings every Sunday. Youth Music members who demonstrate a higher level of musicianship, maturity, confidence, and poise will be invited to join Choir III. These singers will learn new music quickly and sing in harmony. The members of this choir also train to be Psalmists/Cantors. High School students who show an interest and ability will learn basic Sound Production skills as well.
The Children’s Choir is open to all 3rd through 6th grade students and does not require an audition. The rehearsal is currently combined with the Middle and High School Choirs on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 - 6:30pm. Parents of Elementary School children are required to attend all rehearsals. The Children’s Choir will sing with the other Youth Music Choirs at Christmas and in the Spring . They may audition to join Choir I once they demonstrate positive behaviors at rehearsals and demonstrate the necessary focus required.
Enrollment in Youth Music is ongoing. Please contact the Parish office for more information (770) 867-4876
