Choir |
Singing together, is a beautiful way of
celebrating God's marvels ... and this is
what the choir at the Carmelite Monastery
does, each time, we sing out in praise of
the Lord.
The choir has always been an important
presence in the Carmelite Monastery, helping
the faithful to worship the Lord. Various
groups of people come together as choirs and
offer their time for the service of the
Church. Apart from the choir of the
Carmelite brothers, we have the Carmel
choir, comprising people from all walks of
life. There is also the Carmel Youth choir
made up of mostly students and young working
adults. The young ones gather together to
form the Children's choir, guided by Mr
Ashley who is always ready to give his time
for the Church. Who also conducts regular
choir during the 8.45 am mass on Sundays. On
special occasions we have Mrs. Leena
conducts the Choir. For the mass at 11.15
am, there is a youth Choir and also a Senior
Citizen's choir, these are slowly evolving
into well trained choirs. The effort of the
brothers to match the other choirs, in their
daily singing is indeed praise worthy. What
is truly praise-worthy is the sacrifices
these people make and their dedication to
give their best by making time for choir
practices, in spite of their studies, work
and other commitments. The Monastery is also
blessed by generosity of Mrs Effy from San
Jose d'Areal and Mr Chris from Comba, two
musicians who make themselves available even
at the weekday masses.
St Augustine wisely said that one who sings,
prays twice. The Carmelites, who have
dedicated themselves for the spiritual
nourishment of the faithful, have always
been blessed with melodious choirs to play a
part in this mission. Let us join them in
praising the Lord!
