Saint Pope John Paul II Parish’s Music Ministry is excited to announce the formation of a new Children’s Choir! We invite children in grades 2–8 who love to sing, make new friends, and praise Jesus through music. Come join us for this wonderful new ministry! Practices will begin on Thursday, September 24, 2026, and will be held Thursday evenings from 6:30–7:30 p.m. in St. Leo’s Chapel within St. Cecilia’s Church. The Children’s Choir will sing at 10 am Mass every other week, sharing their voices and joy with our parish community. If your child is interested in joining, please feel free to call Bob LeClair at 774-254-2700 with any questions, or simply come with your child to the first practice.
