The 14th season of the National Catholic Youth Choir (NCYC) camp and concert tour will be held June 17-July 2, 2013. Thirty five high school students representing Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin will travel to the campus of Saint John’s University in Collegeville, MN to sing in the choir. The 2013 theme is “For All the Saints.”
The primary focus of the choir is liturgical; the choir seeks to implement the directive of Vatican Council II that the “treasury of sacred music” be preserved and fostered in the modern liturgy.
Daily camp and concert tour photos will be posted on the choir’s website beginning June 18. A complete concert and liturgy schedule is listed below.
There is no charge to attend concerts; a free will offering will be collected for program costs. Online donations can be made at the website. For more information, or to host a future concert, contact the NCYC office.
