I have been approached by a few parishioners about having a choir/s in the parish (one in each church would be good). We don’t need may people for a choir, four or five voices in each perhaps. A small number of Mass settings could be learnt, including some Latin plainchant for occasional use, perhaps for the 10.30 St Urban’s Mass. You do not be able to read music as Mass settings and plainchant are not difficult to learn. What do you think? Personally, I very much like the idea. The singing at 8.45 and 10.30 is very good and can be built on. Feel free to let me know and, hopefully, express an interest in joining. Remember those who sing are said to pray twice!
