Sing a new song unto the Lord, Let your song be sung from mountains’ high’

A church choir enriches liturgy, strengthen­s and touches hearts. It enables people to become more involved in the liturgy of the church. It also promotes a more active participat­ion of the congregati­on in celebratio­ns of the Eucharist throughout the year. The Mass is the centre of the whole Christian life, and the provision of music is therefore of the highest importance.
