NEWS FROM OUR RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CHILDREN’s CHOIR

Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for having your child participate in the Christmas Eve Mass. The response was overwhelming by parishioners about how much their singing enriched the experience. I hope the children enjoyed themselves, and learned something too. I definitely loved having them, and look forward to creating more opportunities for them to sing.
Looking ahead to spring, we will be hosting the very first all-youth mass at St. Mary for both parishes. This will happen during the 11 am mass on Sunday, June 2nd at St. Mary Parish. Students will be assisting in leading the Mass through the gathering, offertory, communion and recessional hymns, while Jean sings the Mass parts. There will be opportunities for solos during the psalm, if the timing works out and children prepare at home. This is a very exciting undertaking which we hope will grow the ministry long term.
If your child would like to continue on with the choir, please email Alison Buff, Faith
Formation leader, or Jean Grace, Children’s Choir Director Jeangrace@yahoo.com.
If you have any other families you know with children that may be interested, please feel
free to have them reach out to either one of us. Additionally, if your child plays an
instruments, let us know!
On behalf of the Charlestown Catholic Collaborative Music Department, I am truly grateful.
Sincerely,
Jean Grace
Youth Choir Director and 6PM Cantor
