Music formed a significant part of school curricula and of parish activities in the Catholic churches. Since the parishes also ran local schools, there were natural opportunities to form youth choirs.
The Petits Chanteurs ("Little Singers’) was one such organization. It was formed in 1945 by Brother Raymondien of St Peter’s School and composed of boys from fifth-eighth grades.
In its first 15 years it enrolled some 750 boys and performed internationally.
