​Reader Ministry
​The Reader has a vital contribution to make to the Liturgy of the Word.  Catholics believe that Christ is present in his word, since it is he himself who speaks when the holy scriptures are read in church.

Ministry of Singing in the Church Choir
​
​The Choir sings at the 9.30am Family Mass on a Sunday morning.  New members are always welcome please contact the Parish office if you would like to join the Choir.
​The 11:00 am Mass on Sundays is usually sung with organ accompaniment, and is celebrated as 'High Mass' on feast days.

The congregation is encouraged to sing the peoples' parts of the Mass and to join in singing the hymns. The Mass setting followed is the Missa Cantata; hymns are chosen to be appropriate for the liturgical season, for their melodic qualities and wherever possible for their familiarity.
