Chorale St Eloi

The choir of St. Eloi rehearsing

This family-based choir rehearses three times a week and performs at a very high standard. Three different choir members take it in turns to direct. This rehearsal is in the garden of one of the choir members.

Sunday mass

A view in their church at Sunday mass. Sunday mass lasts nearly two hours but it feels more like 40 minutes such is the vitality and atmosphere in the church. When appropriate, the altar boys break into a complex choreographed dance routine with no embarrassment at all.

Sunday Mass

Everyone joins in swaying and clapping ro the vibrant music but this is certainly not 'happy clappy'! The church has no organ. They use a battered old Casio electronic keyboard with no plug. They just push the bare wires into the wall socket. The music, however, is of a very high quality.

Sunday Mass

These services are sincere, moving and delightful!
