Our Lady Queen of Peace Pastoral Area in the Archdiocese of Armagh, Ireland. The Pastoral Area is comprised of four parishes in mid Louth: Darver & Dromiskin, Kilkerley, Knockbridge & Louth.
The Music Ministry plays a vital role in enhancing the prayer and liturgy of our pastoral area, serving across all our parishes. Through music and song, the ministry helps to create a reflective and uplifting atmosphere, drawing the community more deeply into worship.
Music is an important part of our celebration of Mass, helping to express joy, hope, and faith. Our musicians, singers, and choirs lead the congregation in hymns and responses, encouraging active participation and enriching the liturgical experience.
This ministry is open to people of all ages and abilities—whether you enjoy singing or playing an instrument, your contribution is most welcome.
We are always delighted to welcome new members to our Music Ministry. If you feel called to share your gifts in this way, you can sign up after Mass or contact the Pastoral Area Office on (042 682 7418) or by email at olqopoffice@gmail.com to get involved. Music Ministry Co-ordinator – Maura Melia
