Come & sing with us! Choir is open to students from all schools in the parish neighborhood. We sing, clap, play, snap, stomp, move, sign (ASL), drum, pray, solo-ize, harmonize, and shine! Music helps kids become better learners and choir helps kids become more confident people. Singing and serving at Mass helps them become closer to Christ!
Once a month the YouthChoir! leads the music at:
· Sunday, 10:30 a.m. Holy Rosary Parish mass
· Wednesday, 8:35 a.m. Holy Rosary School mass
The choir also leads the music at other special masses such as Easter and Christmas. Even if a child cannot attend mass, they are welcome to participate in choir practices. We welcome all who love music and love to sing!
Practices are every Wednesday right after school:
· 2:15-2:30 After school snack (please send with your child)
· 2:30-3:15 Whole choir practices in chapel
· 3:15-3:40 Older cantors may continue if interested
Complete Youthchoir! 2022-2023 choir schedule will be updated soon!

HRS Students in BASE
Students are escorted back to BASE after practice.
HRS Students in BAND
Students can attend at 2:30 right after band practice!
Religious Education students are invited to participate, too!
Some local schools are getting out earlier now. Even if your student can't attend weekly Wednesday 2:30 rehearsals, maybe they can make a Wednesday if they are dismissed early for teacher inservice. They are also invited to the Sunday pre-mass rehearsal at 9:30 in the chapel. We'll go over all the music so they can sing at the mass!
