Each year, parishes, schools, dioceses, NPM chapters, and other worshiping communities come together to
raise their voices in song in a national festival of sacred music. Everyone is invited to participate in this special
event, which is sponsored by the NPM Standing Committee for Choir Directors.
The memorial of Saint Cecilia (patron saint of music) on November 22 is an excellent opportunity to gather
musicians together for an event of sacred song in conjunction with other choirs and musicians.
This year NPM-Detroit will participate in the St. Cecilia Sing by sponsoring a choral festival with communal
song and prayer on Sunday, November 17, 2013 at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Each
participating choir is invited to present a maximum of two selections, with a total performance time of no more
than 5-7 minutes. Choirs should arrive at the Cathedral by 2:15 pm for instructions and general warm-ups.
Be sure to register early as participation is limited to ten choirs!
