Children’s Choir
We are excited about God’s work at Holy Rosary and invite your children to join our music ministry! Our new children’s choir, Jesus and Me (J.A.M.), is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn new songs, develop their musical talents, and grow in their faith through the gift of music.
Rehearsals will take place at the church on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:30PM, beginning September 10, 2025.
Each month, the choir will minister at:
The 10:30AM Parish Mass on the 4th Sunday of the month
In addition, choristers who attend Holy Rosary School will also sing at School Masses throughout the year.
We’ll also be preparing for two special liturgies:
Christmas Eve Mass at 5:00PM on December 24, 2025
Easter Sunday Mass on April 5, 2026
Rehearsals will be held in collaboration with Miss Geffs from Holy Rosary School.
Parent volunteers are greatly needed! Please indicate your availability on the form. Time spent at choir—by both choristers and their families—may count toward parish or school service hours.
Thank you for your interest! I look forward to serving alongside your children in this joyful ministry.
For questions please contact Ina Canimo.
Prayer to St. Cecilia
O glorious saint, who chose to die Instead of denying your King,
We pray you please to help us
As His fair praise we sing!
We lift our hearts in joyous song To honor Him this way,
And while we sing, remembering, To sing is to doubly pray.
At once in our hearts and in our tongues We offer double prayer
Sent heavenward on winged notes
To praise God dwelling there.
While in our hearts and tongues we try With song to praise God twice,
We ask dear saint, to help us be United close to Christ!
