Calling all those involved in music ministry across our diocese

Choir directors, choir/music group members, organists, musicians, and individual singers etc. You are warmly invited to Songs of Praise, an afternoon dedicated to reflection, prayer, and spiritual nourishment.

This event will take place on

Sunday 1 February 2026

2:30pm

at the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Anne

Music plays a vital role in our worship often demanding time, energy, and commitment. This gathering offers a space to pause, give thanks, and be renewed through sacred song, scripture, and shared prayer, in the beautiful setting of the Cathedral.

This afternoon is for all who are involved in music ministry to come together to learn new music, reflect, listen, and lift our voices in praise, followed by an opportunity to chat over light hospitality.

Please do share this invitation widely with choirs/music groups, and individuals.

We look forward to welcoming you for this time of shared praise and renewal.

This is a free event. Donations will be gratefully accepted on the day to help cover costs.

Booking is essential to facilitate hospitality.

Gathering as a community on the Lord’s Day to celebrate the Eucharist has always been at the heart of our Church

However, changes in society - some brought by the Covid19 pandemic - have seen some people’s connect with Sunday Mass weakened.

Ireland's Catholic Bishops have launched material in print and online with which they invite people to reflect on the profound importance of Sunday Mass.

Welcoming Why Sunday Matters in a video message, Bishop Denis Nulty of Kildate and Leighlin, said, “As we journey through this Jubilee Year of Hope, the Irish Bishops’ Conference invites everyone to. We recognise it not only as an obligation, but also as a precious gift – the source and summit of our faith.”
