Choristers is the Children's Choir of St. Vincent Martyr. Under the direction of Lauren Johnson, they provide music for our Sunday Family Liturgies at 9 am and rehearse on Wednesdays from 4:30-5:30 PM during the choir season. Additionally, this group will participate in a regional children's choir festival, Pueri Cantores, in New York City on Saturday, March 18th, 2023.
This young group of music ministers accepts members from 3rd - 8th grade boys and girls. While "youth" centered, music for this group includes much of the traditional repertoire of the congregation. Interested seventh and eighth graders receive training as young Psalmists and Cantors.
All children are most welcome at any time of the year.
Join the St. Vincent Martyr Parish Children’s Choir, the SVM Choristers!
The Choristers’ first Mass of the year will be Sept 10, the 9AM Back to School Mass, at which Bishop Sweeney is presiding!
The 2023-2024 SVM Choristers Season will begin with our child/guardian meet & greet rehearsal on September 13, 2023! If your child is in grades 3-8 and is interested in being a part of the exciting and supportive children’s music community at SVM, please sign them up by clicking here!
The Choristers are directed by Ms. Lauren Johnson. They rehearse every Wednesday from 4:30pm-5:30pm in the church and sing at two 9am Masses per month. They will also sing on holidays such as Christmas Eve and Easter, and will perform in a Christmas Concert!
The group is open to any 3rd-8th Grader, even if they do not currently attend the school or church, so feel free to share with friends, cousins, or neighbors who might want to join. It is a great way to be involved with the church and share our gifts and talents.
