The choir is a donor-supported 501(c)3 organization, dedicated to providing boys a welcoming place to sing. The choir is composed of approximately 140 choristers, ages 7 to 20, who represent a wide range of ethnic, socioeconomic, and religious backgrounds. They perform locally, nationally, and internationally. Frank Cimino is the currently retired but still helps with the choir.

Famous quotes containing the word state:
“The menu was stewed liver and rice, fricassee of bones, and shredded dog biscuit. The dinner was greatly appreciated; the guests ate until they could eat no more, and Elisha Dyer’s dachshund so overtaxed its capacities that it fell unconscious by its plate and had to be carried home.”
—For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
