Who We Are
The Sts. Gregory and Romanos Guild is a Gregorian chant choir, or schola cantorum, serving parishes of the Catholic Diocese of Peoria in Champaign County, IL. Our mission is to give glory to God by singing chant in the liturgy, and by fostering an appreciation for it among the people of the parishes we serve.

Where We Sing
This site lists both our upcoming engagements as well as our historical appearances. Under normal circumstances, we sing about once a month, at parishes in and around Champaign-Urbana, although during busy times of the Church year (Advent, Holy Week, Lent, Easter, Pentecost) we may sing more frequently.
If you use Google Calendar, you can follow our schedule via the Guild’s calendar. We also have a presence on Facebook.
