Yesterday at the 4pm Mass, the St. Louis Children's Choir sang at the monthly Children's Mass. The group was created this fall and is under the direction of Mary Theresa Suhar. Yesterday amid O Come, O Come Emmanuel and On Jordan's Bank, the children sang Ave Maria by Dan Kantor which incorporates a modern (1993) melody with an Ave Maria chant. To do so, the children were assisted by members of the high school Youth Band - both singers and flute.
Both groups are always interested to welcome new members. The Children's Choir (for students in grades 2-5) typically rehearse on two weeks prior to the Children's Mass with the option of Tuesday evening rehearsals (6:30pm-7:30pm) or Thursday evening rehearsals (5:00pm-6:00pm). The Youth Band (for students in grades 9-12) meets on Thursday evenings (6:30pm-7:30pm) and normaly sings for the 9:30am Mass on the 4th Sunday of the month. Please contact me for more information.
