    Children's Choir WELCOME TO THE ST. PETER’S CHILDREN’S CHOIR

 ABOUT THE CHOIR

The purpose of this choir will be to enhance the worship experience for young children through the joy of music. Children will experience vocally appropriate sacred music, proper singing techniques, and have the opportunity to be part of the Liturgy during the 9:00 a.m. Mass.

The choir is currently open to children aged 4 through third grade.  Past choir members who have an interest in continuing may certainly do so, even if they have moved on to upper grades. 

Emphasis will be placed on the child’s worship experience and the joy that music brings to the Liturgy.  No prior music experience is required to join.

REHEARSALS

Rehearsals will be held during the 9:00 a.m. Mass in Benedict Hall.  Children will meet in the narthex at 8:55 a.m. and rejoin their parents at approximately 9:30 a.m.  Children will be escorted to and from Benedict Hall and we hope to make the transition back into Mass as seamless as possible.
