‘If your  gospel choir lacks a “sense of calling, that sense of ministry . . . you can hear it in the worship experience,” says Samuel Friedman in the “New York Times.” To do its job, a choir must be trained to inspire the congregation as well as sing, perform and rehearse with the same professionalism as paid singers.

                                 The Kilkenny Gospel Choir offers workshops in:

1. The history of Gospel Music
2. The Spirituality of Gospel Music
3. How to sing Gospel Music
4. Leading a Gospel Choir
5. The dynamics of a Gospel Choir
6. Leadership in a Gospel Choir

WOW, all systems are GO for the first ever International Gospel Choir Festival. We are delighted to host the Festival on behalf of our Gospel brothers and sisters through out the world. To date choirs are already booking for the event, so get in – in time. The Festival will be a cultural sharing experience for all so not to be missed. Welcome all.

Membership is now open for the Kilkenny Gospel Choir. We welcome our five new members in the past month. Contact the membership secretary Ben or  Marrianne through our Email for information on how to join us.

It is with deep sadness for the choir that one of our members Pat Cantwell has died.  Pat was a faithful member of the choir for 8 years and was the first web designer.

The videos on our site are his work and we will miss his dedication and great friendship.

As he joins the great choir of heaven he is still part of all our lives.

In October we will celebrate 10 years since our foundation. This will be marked with a special Mass celebrated by Bishop Seamus Freeman in St. Mary’s Cathedral on Ocober 24th @ 5.30 pm. All are invited to attend.
