The St. John’s Boys’ Choir offers an enriching experience in music education with an emphasis in vocal music, as well as the socializing experience of shared enterprise, fellowship, cultural awareness, and touring for boys ages 8-15. The Choir promotes vocal music education in Central Minnesota and offers the unique experience of a well-trained boys’ choir to its audiences.

Founded in 1981 by Br. Paul Richards of the Saint John's monastic community, the choir has grown over the past 32 years to include three musical ensembles including a Concert Choir. In 1993 the choir became independent of the Abbey, but still maintains strong ties with the monastic community as well as Saint John's University, ministering at several liturgies throughout the year and performing at various university concerts and events.

The 30-voice High School Choir from Providence Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina is directed by Dr. Carey J. Cannon and accompanied by Diann Clark. This choir tours annually each summer and has sung in churches in the United Kingdom, at the National Cathedral in Washington DC, the United Nations in New York City, Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota, and Gardener's View Baptist Church in Kingston, Jamaica.  Other singing venues have included nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, and schools. This choir recognizes music as a language that can transcend all cultures and is used as a medium to connect people to God in Christ.
