London , England ( CNN ) -- TV talent show star Susan Boyle will sing for Pope Benedict XVI during his visit to Scotland next month , the Catholic Church in Scotland said Wednesday . A church spokesman said in June they were negotiating with the singing phenomenon to perform . Benedict is due to visit England and Scotland from September 16-19 . Boyle will perform three times at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow on Thursday , Sept. 16 , the Scottish Catholic Media Office said . She will also sing with the 800-strong choir at the open-air Mass there . In the pre-Mass program , Boyle plans to sing the hymn `` How Great Thou Art '' as well as her signature song , `` I Dreamed a Dream , '' the tune from the musical `` Les Miserables '' that shot her to fame in April 2009 . `` To be able to sing for the pope is a great honor and something I 've always dreamed of -- it 's indescribable , '' Boyle , a Catholic , said in a statement . `` I think the 16th of September will stand out in my memory as something I 've always wanted to do . I 've always wanted to sing for His Holiness and I ca n't really put into words my happiness that this wish has come true at last . '' Boyle said her late mother was at the same Glasgow park when Pope John Paul II visited in 1982 . After the final hymn at the end of the Mass , Boyle will sing a farewell song to the pope as he leaves to go to the airport for his flight to London , the church said . The pope 's visit will be the first state visit to the United Kingdom by a pontiff , according to the British Foreign Office . John Paul 's trip in 1982 was officially a pastoral visit , while Benedict 's is considered a papal visit . Highlights of Benedict 's trip include a visit with Queen Elizabeth II at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh , Scotland , a major speech at Parliament in London , and a Mass in Coventry , England , to beatify the 19th-century theologian and educationalist Cardinal John Henry Newman . Boyle wowed audiences and judges on the TV show `` Britain 's Got Talent '' last year when she unexpectedly belted out the `` Les Miserables '' classic . The jaw-dropping performance earned her a string of global TV appearances , legions of fans , and a record deal . Though she was runner-up in the show 's final , her debut album , `` I Dreamed a Dream , '' was a blockbuster , becoming the most pre-ordered CD in history on Amazon.com .
