Music


SUNG LITURGIES
Music forms an important part of worship at St Joseph's. There are five sung liturgies every week:
  • Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament  on Saturdays at 5.15pm (with organ and cantor)
  • the Vigil Mass on Saturdays at 6pm (with organ and cantor)
  • the Family Mass on Sundays at 9.30am (led by the Folk Group)
  • the Solemn Mass on Sundays at 11.00am (sung by St Joseph's Choir)
  • the Mass on Sundays at 12.30pm (with piano and cantor)
GET INVOLVED
Do you, or does your child, enjoy singing or playing an instrument? There are various opportunities to get involved in the music at St Joseph's, including:
  • St Joseph's Choir - choir of 20 with a repertoire ranging from ancient plainsong to contemporary mass settings and liturgical music, accompanied by the organ. The Choir sings for the 11am Mass on Sundays with a preparatory rehearsal at 10am in the Blessed Francis Jordan Chapel at Salvatorian College.
  • Folk Group - group of adults and young people who play  a variety of instruments and sing for the 9.30am Family Mass on alternate Sunday
  • Organ Scholarship - St Joseph's offers an organ scholarship for a person of secondary school age wishing to learn the organ. There is a small stipend and generous support for funded organ lessons
​For more information on any of these opportunities, please contact the Director of Music via the Church Office.
