Youth Sing Praise
With only one week of preparation, nearly
100 high school students will perform a full-scale musical at
the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows.
This performance will be the product of Youth
Sing Praise, one of the programs offered by the Shrine’s
Youth Ministry. Youth Sing Praise is a week-long
experience for students who demonstrate not only serious vocal
and theatrical talent, but also a dedication to applying their
talents to service the Christian community.
Despite the daunting task of learning and
rehearsing for a play, the young people at Youth Sing Praise
also find time for recreational and spiritual activities.
Youth Sing Praise will take place June
12-20. The performance will be on Saturday, June 19, at 7:
00 p.m., at the Shrine’s Outdoor Amphitheatre.
Admission is free.
This year, Youth Sing Praise will be
performing Godspell.
Godspell is a musical based upon the Gospel
of Matthew. The musical tells the story of Christ’s
days on earth, set into a contemporary form. The story
begins with John the Baptist calling followers to be baptized.
Afterwards, the musical follows the Apostles to various
New York sites, where they sing and act out stories from
Scripture.
