Why music?

As St Augustine said, "Singing well is praying twice." We use music to lift up our hearts to the Lord, drawing us into praise and contemplation of all he has done for us, and responding with all our hearts.

Music

Music is an important part of the liturgy at Holy Name. There are several different music groups that animate each Mass, as well as other special occasions.

Organ music is used to support congregational, choir and cantor singing at the Saturday evening and Sunday morning Masses, weddings and funerals. Keyboard music is used to support Prouille school children's involvement once a month at the Sunday morning Mass. The singing is lead by our wonderful team of Cantors. If you'd like to find out more, or get involved, please contact:
