Upcoming Events
Choral festival
As well as a church interchange (an exciting international visiting choir to St Patrick's Church, while we travel to another local church) on 27th April 2025, the choir will perform at this year's Cork Choral festival, which takes place between the 30th April to the 4th May 2025.
Easter 2025
You cannot miss the Easter ceremonies when the choir performs on every day of this important time for the church. April 17th (Holy Thursday) to April 20th (Easter Sunday) 2025
Easter is the greatest feast in the Christian calendar. On Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. For Catholics, Easter Sunday comes at the end of 40 days of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving known as Lent
Christmas Concert featuring Elizabeth Cooney
We were delighted to have had the renowned violinist Elizabeth Cooney starring in this year's Christmas Concert at St Patrick's Church, Rochestown. As a recitalist, she has performed at the Royal Festival Hall, the Wigmore Hall, the National Concert Hall Dublin, the Purcell Room and Conway Hall, London.
As a concerto soloist she has toured numerous times with the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, the Liszt Chamber Orchestra of Hungary, the Slovenian Philharmonic, appeared on TV with the RTE Concert Orchestra and the Ulster Orchestra (recorded live on BBC Radio 3). The Choir Director was Pat Sheehan Corbett and the accompanist/vocalist Susan Mannion O'Brien.
It was a joyful evening of carols. There were four different choirs, St Patrick's Gaudete and Chamber choirs, St Columba's and SHEP choirs, singing all the Christmas songs you love.
