Ardyanna's Giving Tuesday Fundraiser

I support the American Federation of Pueri Cantores because they give young people like me the incredible opportunity to come together and share our love of music, singing, and our faith—locally, nationally, and around the world.

I’ve been part of three Pueri Cantores Southern California Festivals, and in December 2023–24, I had the unforgettable experience of traveling with my choir to Rome for the 44th International Congress of Pueri Cantores.

One of the most unforgettable moments of my life was singing for Pope Francis in Vatican City. All the Pueri Cantores choirs from around the world had a private audience with him where he greeted us and talked about how important our singing is for the world. We also got to sing for the New Year's Day Papal Mass at St. Peter's Basilica. Singing with choirs from around the globe (many of which speak different languages), visiting the magnificent churches and Cathedrals around Rome, and even touching Pope Francis!!! .... These are experiences I will carry with me forever!

Your donation helps make moments like these possible for thousands of young singers across the country. Please consider supporting this amazing organization so that more young people like me can grow in faith, fellowship, and music.

Thank you so much for your generosity and support!

P.S. Enjoy these photos of my choir and I at the Rome Congress and regional Southern California Festivals!
