YOUTH CHOIR
Contact/Director:
Kathy Schwister
Open to elementary through middle school. Our scriptural motto is,
"Make a joyful Noise unto the Lord." Fun music of faith with all the bells
and whistles (literally!) not to mention occasional hand clapping and foot stomping.
Youth Choir...
- is open to parish youth in grades 2 – 8 (up to 40 members)
- meets most Tuesdays from 4:30-5:30 in the church choir area for rehearsals.
- sings at 5 masses throughout the school year and participates in the Community Ecumenical Service in November.
