Youth Choirs (Cherub, St. Cecilia and Vox Lumen)  |  Parental Consent Form and Parent/Student Contract

The Cherub Choir is open to all students in grades K-2 and sings preludes for Masses and sits with their families during Mass. The majority of the Tuesday rehearsal time, 4:00 – 4:30 p.m. is spent learning to produce a healthy choral tone, learning how to read notes and rhythms, and experiencing the joy of making music. The Cherub choir sings for Masses four or five times per year. Rehearsals begin November 4 until the spring.

The St. Cecilia Choir is open to students in grades 3-8 who attend St. Robert of Newminster School as well as other local public and private schools. The choir rehearses on Wednesday afternoons from 4:30-5:15 p.m. and sings for parish liturgies every three weeks. During rehearsals, the choristers learn not only the liturgical repertoire, but also music theory and vocal technique. Our St. Cecilia Choir holds membership in the American Federation Pueri Cantores and participates in local, national, and international choral festivals. A modest fee is requested for participation in the season, covering the costs of binders, choral music, and festival registrations.

The Vox Lumen (Voice of Light) Choir is open to all middle (by audition), high school and college-aged singers and is comprised mainly of St. Cecilia Choir alums who wish to continue to sing in a parish choir. The Vox Lumen Choir sings for various liturgies and combines with Chamber Choir for High Feasts and Solemnities. The choir rehearses on Wednesday afternoons from 5:15-6:00 p.m. and sings for parish liturgies every three weeks from September to May.
