Theme: Reclaiming Communities of PEACE Through PRAISE

Gun violence has erupted in the City of Boston, erasing promising teen lives and countless others. These acts have called for community action with ALL FAITHS TOGETHER. Dear Community, do join us at Cooperative Metropolitan Ministries as we bring together powerful voices of international and local choirs & groups for an unforgettable evening. You will not want to miss this event! Tickets are going fast!!!

The youngest victim murdered in Boston, Massachusetts in 2019 was just 16 months old, the oldest 74 years.

WHY DOES IT MATTER?

It matters to the families of gunned-down/murdered citizens such as:

Emmanuel M. 32, of Taunton
Godfrey J. 28 of Roxbury
Edward M. 70 of Roxbury
Baghdad-Z. 25, of West Roxbury
Aderito B. 35 of Dorchester

Join Us on February 14, 2023 (Valentine's Day) for an evening of healing through song. Find your light and voice towards forgiveness and reconciliation. Renew your spirit. Stand with us. Sing with us. Be with us.

Once called the "BTI Choirfest," this event, hosted in the historic Marsh Chapel at Boston University, in partnership with the Boston Theological Interreligious Consortium, has a mesmerizing line-up of praise and worship-filled performances.
