Liturgical Music forms, uplifts and enables the prayer of our community here at the Cathedral, and plays an integral part in all Sacramental and Liturgical celebrations.

We have a large, diverse group of people who form our ministry team, with many ages, cultures and instruments represented and belonging. With strong links to both St James Primary School
and St Peter's College, we are blessed by the giftedness of many young people who form part of our Young Singing Group for the 9am Mass, and the Youth team for the evening Mass.

The Cathedral Organ is played for every 10.30am Mass, and many other special occasions in the life of our parish such as Christmas, Easter, Diocesan celebrations, weddings and funerals.
The Parish choir meets for rehearsal every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month, and new members are welcome.

If you have been blessed with the gift of music, and would like to belong to our music ministry team do call the Parish Office.
