Calling all singers for the diocesan Chrism Mass
The diocesan Chrism Mass is an important annual service during which Archbishop Wilson will bless and consecrate oils that will be used for anointing during the administration of Sacraments in parishes during the coming year. In addition, Southwark clergy will renew the promises made at their Ordination.
This year the Mass will take place in St George's Cathedral on Wednesday 27th March 2024. To enhance this joyful service, the Music Committee wish to convene a Diocesan Choir.
