Congratulations to Victoria Stevens for being named the Valedictorian of the JMCHS Class of 2017 this year. This honor for Victoria marks the third consecutive year the honor has been bestowed upon an alum of the Choir School. We look forward to hearing more from Victoria as she charts her future with a gap year in Germany and plans to enroll at Yale University in the fall of 2018.

Joining Ms. Stevens as MCS alums and Honors Graduates from JMCHS were Seth Brown and Caroline Yannelli. Please click on the headline or photo to see a full list of honors received by MCS alumni at Judge Memorial this year.

Pictured here is the twenty-first alumni class at The Madeleine Choir School. At the Choir School, we call this day commencement, which means beginning. It seems like a strange word for something that feels more like an ending, but something needs to end in order for a new beginning to be possible. This new beginning is indeed exciting! We wish the graduating class well as they transition to high school and we thank them kindly for their fine leadership as students at MCS. These students have contributed greatly to The Madeleine Choir School and have been wonderful role models. Please join us in congratulating each member of the Class of 2017!

Please join us at the Cathedral of the Madeleine for the Madeleine Festival Concert this Sunday 21 May. The concert begins at 800 PM with reserved seating (passes required) for select donors to the Madeleine Festival and to the Madeleine Choir School. General Admission (no passes required) is available, as well.

The Choir School community was saddened to learn of the death of Archbishop George H. Niederauer on Tuesday 2 May in San Rafael, California. Archbishop Niederauer was the Eighth Bishop of Salt Lake City, serving in Utah from 1995 - 2005, and the Eighth Metropolitan Archbishop of San Francisco serving in this post from February of 2006 until his retirement in 2012. The Archbishop was the founding bishop of the Choir School, who after carefully reviewing the feasibility study prepared by a committee, approved the opening of the new school on 21 May 1996. The Choir School opened its doors to over 100 students on 26 August 1996. Drawing upon friends in his native Los Angeles, the Archbishop also provided the school with start-up funding, and later secured a $1 Million gift toward the purchase of the school’s new campus in 2002.

The Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday 12 May in the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption in San Francisco. A Requiem Mass will be offered by Bishop Solis in the Cathedral of the Madeleine on Monday 15 May at 5:15 PM.
