“If you want to make something beautiful for God, it involves the effort
of all your mind, heart, soul and strength.”  - Mary Ann Carr-Wilson

Come join the fun as a member of the
Parish Youth Schola!

Why Schola?  Well, schola in Latin means "school," so, a school of singers is a Schola Cantorum (sko'-la kan-to'-room).  This tradition goes all the way back to Pope Saint "Gregory the Great" who desired to have chant sung as perfectly and beautifully, as possible. (If you want to know more about Pope Gregory I, check out the link to the right.)  It was he who is credited with the final verison of how sung church music, or Gregorian chant, looks on the page.
(see image at right. Beautiful isn't it?)

Our reasons for singing in Church are to more fully experience our Catholic tradition, develop our singing ability, express our love for God, and share our treasure with the congregation and community. Have any of you ever said Mass is boring?  Well, if you don't know your "lines" it can be a very nerve-wracking experience!  We as Catholics, young and old, are called to participate as fully and actively as can be, and the parts we've been given are plentiful!  If Saint Augustine is known for saying, "He who sings, prays twice," then it stands to reason that if we sing all our responses at Church with an open and joyful heart then God will be pleased and we will have had a beautiful experience at Mass.

 Youth Schola is open to children with treble voices (unchanged) entering Grades K-9. Children will learn singing technique appropriate to their age and development along with music literacy and theory. Breakout sessions according to age will be formed.
