In an era of diminishing church choirs, St Bart's stands out as
one of the few remaining Roman Catholic parishes in the diocese to boast a flourishing choral tradition.
The choir of St Bart's celebrated its tenth birthday in 2006
and throughout its life has contributed greatly to the liturgical and musical life of the parish and Rainhill. As a
result we have a vast repertoire of music from plainsong to present day, from classics to modern, which enriches the weekly
worshipping life of the parish.
The Choir is committed to regular
churchgoing, as well as to attending the Thursday night practice. We sing at a Parish Mass every weekend of the year
and at the major celebrations of Easter and Christmas. We also sing at a large number of parishoners' weddings throughout the
year, helping to make their celebrations more special. In addition we
hold musical events throughout the year, which may include formal and informal concerts, training days, vocal workshops and
vocal tuition. Our social activities have included weekends away, social gatherings or a simple get-together
in the local pub after a rehearsal!
