Music Group
Richness in diversity
During the year you may see music practises called for in the individual churches. These are for anyone (or everyone) to come along to; these are informal gatherings to give everyone the opportunity to learn new hymns or even become more familiar with our traditional selection!
If you play a musical instrument and you would be interested in playing for a Mass, then please speak to the music representative in your church.
Advent Carol Service. This is a lovely start to the preparation of Christmas. The service takes place by candlelight with unaccompanied singing. A small group prepare the liturgy for the evening and you are more than welcome to come along and join us
Carols Around the Crib. A new addition this year was to re-introduce a very old tradition of singing Carols Around the Crib and listen to a few readings. It gave us the opportunity to sing requests, and some of the lesser known carols. We finished up with mince pies!
Easter. The Services over the Triduum and Easter are held in Our Lady of Peace in Newbridge. The musicians and singers from the three churches form a group to plan, sing and play together for all of these.
We also come together to support each other for special services (such as 1st Holy Communion, Confirmation, special Feast days).
