Music plays a great part in St Joseph's liturgy. There is a choir for the 11.00am Mass and two lively music groups for the 6.30pm Mass. Occasionally, we are invited to provide people for the Arundel Cathedral Choir for Rites of Election, Chrism Masses and Choir Festivals.
11.00am Mass Choir
The choir is an is an active liturgical choir of men and women (SATB), with full membership of about 20 singers including 5 choral scholars mainly from Surrey University.
The choir leads the music at the 11.00 mass on Sundays except generally the first Sunday of each month and during academic holidays. The choir also sings at important feasts (e.g. Christmas and Easter).
The choir's ministry is to assist our parish's worship by leading the congregation in the singing of responses, acclamations and hymns of the liturgy, enhancing congregational music by way of harmonising, providing descants and singing choral music from the treasury of sacred music.
