ST MICHAEL’S CHORISTERS

St Michael’s Choristers (our junior choir) is looking for new members aged anywhere between 4-14. We rehearse every Friday at 5.30 to 6.20 in term time and we will be singing at Mass more regularly from September. There is no need to be able to read music (or even to be able to read) since we try to include all ability levels. If you’re interested, or would like to come along to a few rehearsals to try us out, please speak to Catherine Crabtree, Debbie Fernando or Fr Paul.

Parishioners are requested to consider a half hour period of prayer on a rota to ensure the Church is not left unattended..
