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.
