Choirs at the National Novena

During the National Novena from the 14 – 22 August, we will welcome choirs, guest organists and cantors from all over the country to enhance the liturgies taking place in the Basilica.  We will also have the Schola Cantorum Basilicae, our own resident choir performing at various times.

We are also delighted to have our new Youth Choir perform for the first time on Monday 15th August.

Remember, all ceremonies are available to watch back on our YouTube channel.
