The choir attends the 9.15am Mass every Sunday and leads the congregation in the singing of the hymns and parts of the Mass. They also perform the same function for special occasions throughout the year such as Easter and Christmas. Sometimes, after Sunday Mass, there is a short practice to discuss the programme for the following week with extra practices before special occasions.
