1st grade Latin and Gregorian chant



The video shows some of the children at St Theresa's Catholic School in Sugar Land, Texas, in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. They range in age from 5-7. All comments were unrehearsed and unscripted. I liked this one:
You should try to learn the chant because it honours God and it worships Him; and I think He deserves to be treated like that. He gives all He can to us, and we should give all we can to Him.
but the best one is the last voice-to-camera at 1:22.

(A few years back, we saw the re-ordering of St Theresa's Catholic Church in Sugar Land, Texas.)

I really enjoyed this clip. It's very impressive; not just because of the children's mastery of the chant but their comments when interviewed.

It just shows what can be done. Sometimes, I feel, our expectations of what children can cope with are just way too low.
