Parish Musicians

Celebrating 50 years in 2022, Rathmines Parish Folk Group started in the Parish in October 1972. Since then, over 200 people have been members of the Folk Group, and more than 25 priests have been involved from the Parish. In addition to singing at the 6pm Sunday Mass, the group have been regularly asked to sing in other parishes, or at fund-raising events, as well as television appearances. In 1997 the Group was presented with a Papal Blessing for its contribution to the Parish.
