A group of 10 Carroll Chorus members, under the direction of Miss Suzanne Carpenter, chose to spend their Sunday afternoon giving back to their community - which in this case, is a much broader community than one might expect.

Every week, the 6ABC studio partners with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to record and air masses for Catholics throughout the city who might not be able to physically attend mass due to various circumstances. The masses are viewed by hundreds of thousands each week. And get this - the team at WPVI-TV allows the Archdiocese to celebrate these masses in their studio free of charge - a charity program. The members of the Chorus chose to use their God-given gifts to bless those who are under such circumstances - even if for two masses - and sing the liturgical music simply for the opportunity to bring some joy and hope into the lives of many others during this Lenten season.

After the masses, the students were given a tour of the well-known Action News Studio, where many Philly residents regularly watch their favorite anchors bring them daily news at 4-6AM, 10AM, 12PM, 4-6:30PM, and 11PM. They enjoyed looking at all the equipment, pretending to give the weather forecast, and even had the opportunity to sit at the same desk that the beloved Jim Gardner once sat at. The students used their gifts to bring joy to others, and in turn were given a joyful experience that their friends will likely never hear the end of.
