Last summer more than 40 children attended Chant Camp, a week-long day camp that immerses students in the world of Sacred Music while providing plenty of opportunity for good Catholic fellowship, sports, games, prayer, and lots of laughter. After a week of study and exercises, Chant Campers have a solid foundational knowledge of the purpose and importance of music in the liturgy and a heightened sense of the Good, True, and Beautiful. They also learn many practical skills such as reading chant and music notation, singing and blending in a choral setting, along with learning chants and hymns to sing for the Mass which concludes the camp.

Why: Learn chant, have fun, and share in the many fruits and blessings of the week.

Choristers will share their newly acquired skills by singing for a 12 p.m. Solemn High Mass celebrating the Feast of the Sacred Heart on Friday, June 28th.

Who: CHILDREN AND YOUTH 7-18 years of age.
