St. Mary's is pleased to offer this exciting opportunity for children of all ages to learn about singing and reading music, and in particular Gregorian chant. The children will sing for the noon Mass at St. Mary's on Friday, August 22nd, and again for the 9:00 Latin Mass on Sunday, August 24th. No prior musical experience is required; the only prerequisite is the ability to read English fluently. Classes in ear training, sight singing, and repertoire will be offered, with daily Mass, lunch, and recreation time.

There is no charge for the camp, but attendance is required each day. Children should bring a bag lunch. Parents must register their children, by phone or e-mail, by 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 17th.

For further information and to register for the Chant Camp, please contact David Hughes, St. Mary's Organist & Choirmaster: 203-866-5546 x115 or music@stmarynorwalk.net.
