starting our journey in all hallows chapel, dcu

Last Sunday, 20th September, was an exciting morning - a full congregation gathered in the beautiful chapel in Hall Hallows DCU for the full choir's first Mass in our new home for the next 2 years. This is due to the refurbishment of St Mary's Cathedral, Dublin Diocese, which is just starting. Mozart, Viadana and Hassler resounded in the very fine acoustic. The chapel organ, originally built by Telford & Telford (1898) and rebuilt by R.E. Meates & Son Ltd Organ Builders, although in need of tuning, filled the whole body of the chapel. And we were delighted to welcome 6 senior probationers in their blue choir robes on Sunday for the first time. Mary Sugrue, wardrobe mistress has done sterling work in getting robes and choir uniform ready.

All Hallows Chapel is a beautiful place with a rich history of liturgical music in the past. We are most appreciative to the President of DCU and to the staff for welcoming us. And it was thrilling to see so many people present. ​
