Our History
The Chicago Black Catholics Choir, Inc. (CBC Choir), which in its inception was The Office for Black Catholics Choir (OBCC), was formed on April 24, 2011 with about 35 members.
The CBC Choir is comprised of both Catholic and non-Catholic Christian singers. The Choir's mission is to evangelize through song while preserving the rich musical gifts of prolific Black writers. The Choir's repertoire includes an array of choral and other genres of music.
The CBC Choir has been ordained to sing God's Praises. Our members come from churches in the Chicago land area, and the surrounding suburbs. We are a Catholic based choir who embraces all Christian faiths to join us in our mission to serve God's Church. Our doors are open to anyone who has the desire to praise the name of Jesus.
