3. Junior Choir Group (Eng)

The St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Philly Youth Choir has an indispensable role in worship, liturgical celebrations, and faith formation. Our primary role is to support and enhance the congregation both in song and prayer. Currently, we have 20 members in the Youth Choir. Our numbers grow over the course of the academic year as we welcome children starting from the third grade. Our practices are held every second and fourth Saturday (the Saturday before English Qurbana) from 2 – 4 PM in the Church. Attending practice is important so that we can train the youth and help them to better understand the Syro-Malabar English Qurbana.
