Notes of Joy!

St Mary’s is pleased to announce the 2026 Advent concert series, Notes of Joy! Local performers contribute their gift of music as we prepare our hearts for Christmas, and support a local charity. Once again, we are pleased that donations will support the work of the Victoria Hospice Bereavement Fund.

The Advent noon concert series was established in 2007 by the late Catherine McFadden Dunning Young.
