Introduction by Fr Richard P.P.

An introduction to our Music Ministry by our Parish Priest Fr Richard
"St. Augustine says that "he who sings to God prays twice". This gives some insight into the importance of music in our Liturgy and the importance of the Music Ministry in our Parish. We are greatful to all who contribute both their time and talents to the Music Ministry which adds so much to our Liturgical celebrations".


St John's Gospel Choir

Our Gospel Choir was set up in September 2009 and now has 70 members

While we have more than enough singers for the choir (there is a waiting list for people wishing
to join us), we are still looking for musicians over 18 years of age and
we would be delighted if you would contact us through the Parish Office, Tel:4994203.


Rehersals are held in the main Church every Wednesday from 7.30 pm. to 9 pm.

Scroll down the page to see our schedule.


Mary O'Gorman is the Musical Director & Conductor of St. John's Gospel Choir

Rehearsals are on Wednesdays at 7.30 pm. in the main Church.

We usually sing at the 12 o'clock Mass on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month
