It was a joy and privilege to sing with the choir of St Thomas’s Fifth Avenue yesterday as we celebrated a Mass for St James of Jerusalem. The anthem, Tantum Ergo by Ian Wicks, was commissioned by SMW and conducted by the composer.
Father Philip preached and the choir was also joined by young Harry Groome.
