On Saturday evening, Cahir to Sing was delighted to welcome members of the choir from St Mary’s Church, Clogheen, one of our sister parishes, to join us for Mass in Cahir.
We may usually sing in different churches and different communities, but music gives us a wonderful opportunity to share what we do, learn from one another and enjoy the simple pleasure of singing together.
As we marked the Feast of St Francis of Assisi, it was particularly fitting to include Make Me a Channel of Your Peace, beautifully sung by Jerry Griffin from Clogheen.
We were also delighted to have Celine Burke on flute, who played the beautiful Irish air Inis Oírr during the Offertory, and was joined by Fidelma on low whistle. A special word of thanks too to Maeve, our psalmist, who led the Responsorial Psalm so beautifully. The psalm is such an important part of the Liturgy of the Word, and Maeve’s beautiful singing added greatly to the prayerfulness of the celebration.
A sincere thank you to all of the Clogheen singers who travelled to Cahir and added their voices to ours. And, of course, thank you to everyone who organised the cuppa and goodies afterwards! ☕🍰 We look forward to continued collaborations.
Different choirs, sister parishes, one shared song.
