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!
