The first workshop for the Gentle Mass took place at Barryroe National School on Sunday 8 November 2026
Over 50 singers attended a practical workshop on the Sunday afternoon. They came from six church choirs plus a good number from no church choir.
After some vocal warm ups the composer Denis O'Regan taught participants the most commonly used parts of the sung liturgy. Fr Anthony O'Mahony has invited all the participants to sing this setting at Mass at Barryroe Church on Saturday 14 November at 9:30am.
The next workshop will be announced soon.
