Singing in a good choir is an exceptional educational opportunity, and is an essential part of a child’s learning and development. Here at Saint Thomas Aquinas, choristers are introduced to the world of great music: from Traditional Hymnody and Gregorian Chant, to Renaissance motets in Latin, Bach in German, and great English cathedral music. The Choir of Men and Boys and the Girls’ Choir alternate singing each Sunday at the 9:00 a.m. Mass. Additionally, the choirs alternate the singing of the 8:00 am daily Mass on Thursdays, during the academic year, and Holy Day Masses as they arise.
These talented young singers learn and participate in the great musical and liturgical heritage of the Roman Catholic Church. Their participation provides a clearer understanding of the traditions of their Catholic faith, while giving them the opportunity to share the Gospel message through the medium of music.
The Choirs are affiliated with Pueri Cantores, the official organization of children and youth choristers in the Roman Catholic Church.
