Girls will sing at St Peter’s

ITALY-BOUND:
Choir students at Mount St Joseph are raising funds for an overseas singing
tour
By Damir Govorcin
Choir students from Mount St Joseph, Milperra, aim to raise more than
$160,000 to fund a tour to Italy which will include a performance at the
Vatican.
During the 13-day tour in January, the choir will perform at a Vigil
Mass at St Peter’s Basilica and in Florence, Assisi and Pisa.
The girls have begun a fundraising program, including selling doughnuts
and pies and conducting raffles, which raised $5000 in Term 1.
The choir, which is made up of 100 students from Years 7-12, has a repertoire
that includes popular works, classics, jazz and music from the Afro-American
choral tradition.
Up to 40 students will go on the tour to Italy, accompanied by 10 staff
from the college.
