Schola Charter

Liturgical worship is given a more noble form when it is celebrated in song, with the ministers of each degree fulfilling their ministry and the people participating in it. Indeed, through this form, prayer is expressed in a more attractive way, the mystery of the liturgy, with its hierarchical and community nature, is more openly shown, the unity of hearts is more profoundly achieved by the union of voices, minds are more easily raised to heavenly things by the beauty of the sacred rites, and the whole celebration more clearly prefigures that heavenly liturgy which is enacted in the holy city of Jerusalem.

Mission Statement:

The mission of the men’s chant group, Schola Cantorum, is to grow in discipline of voice, mind, and spirit while promoting an increased appreciation for chant and sacred polyphony as per Vatican II Sacrosanctum Concilium in a solemn effort to glorify God by raising mind and soul to the divine realities which permeate the liturgies of our rich Catholic tradition.

Year-Round Activities Include:

Additional Note:

The leadership and governance of the group is appointed to the membership as a whole. The Schola Cantorum is not a performance group, but rather an apostolate that fulfills its mission by participation in liturgical celebrations for God and Holy Mother Church.
