High-School Choir Camp 2026
July 13-17, 2026
Children ages 13-17 will study different elements of music in an engaging atmosphere and have the opportunity to sing for Mass. This five-day camp begins at 9:15 and concludes before the 12:15 Holy Mass, for which the young vocalists are invited to sing in the choir loft each day.
Exaltation of the Holy Cross
September 14, is called the ‘Exaltation of the Holy Cross,’ ‘Holy Cross Day,’ or ‘Roodmas.’ It commemorates two separate events related to that date. The first is the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also built by Constantine, in Jerusalem, the site of Christ’s death and Resurrection, as well as the grotto where Saint Helena recovered the Cross. The second event is the return of a significant portion of the Cross to Emperor Heraclius in 629 which had been previously captured by the invading Persians.
