Choir - For singers in Soprano, Alto, Tenor & Bass voices, if you would like to sing with our choir, please speak to David after the 11am Mass, or e-mail him via parish office. All that is required is that you have an openness to learning, basic sight-reading skills and commitment – the rest is provided! Without parishioners & friends committing to this valuable tradition it will disappear. Your choir needs YOU!
