All of the weekend Masses at St Patrick's and St Bernard's churches are supported by different groups of volunteer musicians, instrumentalists and singers. Each of our weekend Masses has a different musical flavour, from traditional hymns supported by organ to contemporary music for young people supported by keyboard and guitar. The parish also has a number of different choir groups, as well as informal groups of singers who attend when their schedules allow.

​

All music groups welcome new members at any time. Keyboard players/organists are especially needed; guitars and other instruments are also very welcome, either as regular participants or on an occasional basis. Mentoring and support from established parish musicians can be provided for new musicians.

​

To join one of our music groups, please feel welcome to introduce yourself to group members at any Mass, or contact one of our Music Ministry members - contact details can be found in the Parish Groups & Ministries Directory.

The parish provides up to three music scholarships for young parishioners who are committed to participating in parish music ministry. Scholarships are held for a period of one year (renewable), with monies going to ongoing music education expenses. Scholarship holders participate actively in parish liturgies at least twice per month. Audition and interview essential.
