New Hymn Supplement - within the next few weeks we will be introducing a hymn supplement for use along with our Laudate hymnal. This will include a number of well known hymns for both parish and St Andrew’s Primary school use, as well as the new Gloria, which we've been learning over the past few weeks. Music is such an important part of the liturgy and very much enhances our experience at Mass, and I hope that having a more extensive range of hymns will further help us with this.
