Music Ministry

20150403-_DSC1552Each week at Mass, our choir helps enhance the celebration of the Mass through music, singing, and praise. Music is a form of prayer, and our ministry leads, sustains, and enriches the singing of the assembly to help raise its heart to God through song.

Do you enjoy singing? Whether in the car, in the shower, or you just like to whistle a little tune, consider joining our Music ministry. We welcome all – singers and instrumentalists – or those who just enjoy enhancing our worship as a community. We would love to have you with us.

New Wine Mass Setting (2025) Update

From Director of Music Philip Jakob: We have been using the NEW WINE MASS setting of the Glory to God and Lamb of God for a few years. Now we will add the Holy, Memorial Acclamation and Great Amen. These recordings will hopefully assist you to learn the new bits quickly. The recording was made as part of a Catholic Schools Week project in the Diocese of Hallam, UK where I was Director of Music for 20 years. 5 schools learned the music and then came together to complete the project by recording the entire Mass setting in the Chapel of Mount St. Mary College, Spinkhill, Derbyshire. This setting of what in 2011 were newly revised texts was widely used throughout the UK.
