Church Choir blog

A parishioner has set up a new blog to provide information on the music at the 10.30 Missa Cantata on Sundays in the parish. See: Our Lady of the Rosary Church Choir.

This is for the Choir, the congregation and anyone else interested in music for the Latin Mass in the older form. There are links to copies of music and there will be links to video clips showing examples of people singing the various musical texts.

Girls' Choir 9am Mass

At the 9am Mass on Sunday, a Girls’ Choir sings hymns and other pieces from various cultural traditions. The Girls’ Choir practices before and after 9am Mass on Sunday. Girls of any age are welcome.

Sung Latin Requiem Sat 6 September

Our next scheduled Missa Cantata (sung Latin Mass in the older form of the Roman Rite) is on Saturday 6 September at 10.30am. This day is the anniversary of the death of Fr Patrick Bailey, a former Parish Priest of Our Lady of the Rosary, and so, at the suggestion of the MC and Schola, I will celebrate this Mass as a Requiem for Fr Bailey and after Mass, there will be the traditional absolutions at the catafalque.

Requiem aeternam dona ei Domine et lux perpetua luceat ei.
