The Teen Choir strives to raise the hearts and voices of the faithful through beautiful, stirring psalms, hymns, and inspired songs so as to draw God’s people more fully into the mystery of the Mass and to help them experience the Presence of the living God more deeply. We are youth, called to be His instruments as He ministers to His people through the gift which He, the Divine Musician, established - music.

Monday, December 23rd at 4 p.m. - The St. Peter Teen Choir presents a Christmas Choral Prayer Concert - Selections will include preludes and music that the Choir will also be singing for Midnight Mass (see flyer under Documents)

Tuesday, December 24th at 11:15 p.m. - Prior to Midnight Mass on Christmas, the St. Peter Teen Choir will be singing numerous Advent and Christmas selections to assist the faithful in preparing their hearts to welcome our Lord in this great solemn Mass.
