Groups

Choirs

Both the 10.00am and 6.30pm Sunday Masses are accompanied by folk choirs (6.30 Mass only on alternate weeks). The 10.00 choir meets every Monday evening from 7.30 to 8.30 in the small hall to practise for the following Sunday's Mass, while the 6.30 choir meets half-an-hour before the Mass itself. The choirs also get together for special Masses, such as First Communions and Confirmations, and for an annual Christmas Concert.

The 11.30am Sunday Mass is accompanied by a more traditional choir with organ.

The choirs are always happy to welcome new members, be they singers or instrumentalists. If you are interested, details can be found on the contacts page.

Drama Group

Tony and Maxine Henley, Val Hailes and Ron Baxter as Abba

The Parish has a very active drama group, putting on productions in the Church hall at least twice a year. These range from pantomimes for the children (and adults!), to plays and musicals. Often the evenings are accompanied by refreshments and are very popular among parishoners. Recent productions have included an evening of two one-act plays, Housekeeper Wanted and Curses Foiled Again (with a supper in between), and a musical evening entitled Songs from the Shows. Pictured are some moments from these two productions.
