The Liturgy Group covers quite a wide range of activities and keeps, if you like an overview with Fr Michael, of what is happening in the Parish. The activities cover Holy Mass and the Sacraments, Announcers, Welcomers, Altar Servers, Readers, Eucharistic Ministers, Choir and Bell-Ringers. Some of these activities simply have their own momentum and the people involved make it happen by arranging rotas. Many thanks to those involved.
Altar Servers
Training is given to girls and boys in year 5 and upwards for those who wish to serve at Mass.
Contact Andrew Hartley
Announcers at Mass
There is a rota of parishioners who welcome people to Mass and introduce the liturgy of the day.
Bell Ringers
Bells are rung on Sundays, except in Lent, and for weddings and other special occasions.

Choir
The Choir sings at Sunday morning Mass and on major feasts during the year, often in 4 parts. They also will sing at weddings for a fee. Choir practice takes place some Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm in the church.
