During the Jubilee of Choirs and Choral Groups, concerts, recitals, and musical performances are held in churches, auditoriums, and sacred places, where choirs can express their devotion through sacred singing. Choral groups have the opportunity to share their talent and passion for religious music, inspiring the community with the beauty and spirituality of their performances.

Choirs and choral groups are invited to interpret sacred songs that reflect the values of the Gospel, conveying messages of hope, peace, and love through their music.
The Jubilee of Choirs and Choral Groups is also an opportunity to promote fraternity and solidarity among singers, coming from different ecclesial communities and musical traditions. It is a moment of sharing and communion among choir members, who unite in prayer and worship through sacred singing.
This event testifies to the Church’s commitment to value and promote sacred music as a means of evangelization and spiritual elevation.
