Saint Mary’s Cathedral Limerick has a multi-denominational choir, who on a weekly basis sing for Sunday Services. From medieval to modern, together with hymns and traditional canticles, the music is always enjoyable and inspiring.
Under the musical direction of Mr. Peter Barley, the choir is currently auditioning for new members (Click here for more information), so we invite you to join us and continue this ancient singing tradition.
Saint Mary’s Cathedral Limerick is home to the Southern Districts only set of mini-bells. The bells are situated in the Cathedral and arrangements to ring them can be made through Mike Pomeroy.
