Requiem Choir

The Requiem Choir plays a vital role in funeral liturgies, offering sacred music that honours the deceased and comforts the bereaved. The Choir supports the liturgy and leads the congregation through hymns and choral music.

Music selections focus on themes of hope, resurrection, and mercy. The choir enhances the solemnity and spiritual depth of the liturgy by:

  • Singing hymns and responses during the Funeral Mass.

  • Enhancing the solemnity and spiritual atmosphere.

  • Helping mourners participate more deeply in the liturgy through music.
