The Middlesbrough parishes of The Holy Name of Mary and St Thomas More

During this years Advent Vigil, we will once again, gather together and to take time-out of the pre-Christmas hustle and bustle and ‘be still’ as we listen to the word of God and sing some of the beautiful Taizé chants. Read the rest of this entry »

• Wednesday 6th June – Sacred Heart, Linthorpe Road
• Wednesday 4th July – Cathedral, Coulby Newham
• Wednesday 8th August – St. Thomas More’s M’bro

Thanks to all who came along to the first gathering of the Middlesbrough Taize Choir at Holy Name, Linthorpe – we hope that you enjoyed the evening and will consider being a regular.

There were those people that came along to simply sing the beautiful Taize chants, a few words sung over and over again to reinforce the meditative quality of the prayer.

Some people came to take ‘time out’ - to light a candle and to pray their own prayers and intentions, others still came to just ‘listen’ to the singing and then there were those who came to join in the evening prayer at the end. Whatever your reason, you are very welcome to join us.
