In Sung Communion services, usually a setting (with congregational participation) is used, and often with a psalm (either responsorial or Anglican chant). An anthem is sung, together with a communion motet on two Sundays of the month. Gospel responses and alleluias are also sing, and there is occasionally an Introit.
The choir participates in RSCM events, and visits to other places of worship.
