Welcome to St Patrick's Choir

Experience the beauty of sacred music as our choir lifts your spirit every Sunday at 11 am in St Patricks Church, Rochestown Cork, Ireland. Join us in worship and harmony. We harmonise hearts.

Mass Settings for Feb to May 2025.

For the next four months, at 11 am mass on Sundays, the choir will perform music kindly brought to us from Lourdes by Father Martin O’Connor. The pieces are in Latin and are simple enough for the congregation to join in which we hope you will do to further enrich the experience of mass in St Patricks.The composer is Jean-Paul Lécot. Born in 1947 in Provins (Seine-et-Marne), Jean-Paul Lécot studied at the Toulouse Conservatoire with Xavier Darasse, from whom he inherited a passionate interest in many areas of music. More info here: https://lasinfoniedorphee.com/en/our-selection/composers/jean-paul-lecot/

The pieces are: Kyrie, Gloria , Alleluia, Sanctus ,Agnus Dei, Doxology (great Amen)
