Our Mission
“Our mission is to use our talents and skills to glorify God, lead the congregation into deeper worship, and to grow as a community centered in friendship, holiness, and service. Inspired by Pope Saint John Paul II, we hope to become joyful and fearless disciples that evangelize through both our voices and lives.”
About Us
The St. John Paul II Teens to Young Adult Choir is a group of young Catholics ages 13-30 who use their musical talents to glorify God and lead the congregation in the Mass. Outside of this, we strive to grow in friendship and holiness through our events and faith-building initiatives. We hope that, through our ministry, we grow into faithful disciples and fearless evangelists who can bear witness to the love of Christ.
"Be Not Afraid"
- Pope Saint John Paul II
Our journey to World Youth Day is a profound pilgrimage of faith. By participating in this global gathering, our members grow in spiritual maturity, returning home with renewed hearts to better uplift our local community through service and song.
