Choirs and Music Groups
Children's choir
Since its establishment many years ago, this group has helped to develop the singing talents of our youngest members, initially under the stewardship of Margaret Byrne and Eileen Brogan, and more recently directed by Sinead O'Donnell. They rehearse on a Saturday afternoon and enhance some of the masses on Sundays with their wonderful singing. They also enhance the liturgy at Christmas and Easter, and even appeared on RTE on Christmas Day 2012 when the masses were broadcast 'live' from our parish.
Laurel Lodge Folk Group
This group, under the direction of Martina Flanagan, have also gone from strength to strength over the years, appearing on broadcast masses both from the parish and from the RTE studios and also producing a number of CDs in aid of St Francis Hospice. They bring their own brand of music to the liturgy and sing at various masses from September to May.
