  St. Tarcissus Children’s Choir participates in the Pueri Cantores Festival -
  November 20, 2010

St. Tarcissus Parish offers two ensembles for young singers. The Children’s Choir is comprised of singers in grades 5-8; the Junior Choristers are singers in grades 3 and 4. The Children’s Choirs are open to students enrolled in Religious Education at St. Tarcissus or St. Tarcissus School.

The Children’s Choir program has a strong liturgical component: both ensembles sing at selected Sunday liturgies at St. Tarcissus, as well as feast days and celebrations such as Christmas Eve, Easter Sunday, and First Holy Communion. Additionally, students will share their gifts in the spirit of Christian service through their participation in choir festivals and performances at St. Tarcissus and the surrounding community. Students will receive training in healthy, age-appropriate vocal technique and build their musicianship skills as they sing a diverse range of sacred and secular music.

The Children’s Choirs belong to the Pueri cantores federation, the official student choir organization of the Catholic Church, and share the organization’s mission to engage young people in the highest musical standards for the service of God.

Children’s Choir (Grades 5-8):
