NOTE FOR OUR CONTEMPORARY MUSIC GROUP
We will next be playing and singing at the 11am Mass on Sunday, 6th July and having a practice beforehand on Monday, 30th June- 7 to 8pm.
We hope you can all come to the practice as well as the Mass – it really does help to practice as the psalm and other music sounds much better with rehearsal! We look forward to seeing you all there and we would of course welcome any new singers or musicians who may consider joining us. Thanks.
