We are super excited to welcome back Ireland’s most exciting young tenor Emmet Cahill for a night of songs and stories as he debuts his brand-new album in 2019! 

Join Ireland’s most exciting young tenor Emmet Cahill as he embarks on his biggest solo tour to date and debuts his brand-new album of traditional Irish songs in 2019! This follows his number-one World Music album “Emmet Cahill’s Ireland” on the Sony Music USA label and his sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall.Emmet will perform many of the songs from the new album, as well as Broadway standards, nostalgic favourites, beloved church hymns and operatic arias that showcase his classical vocal training received at the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin. And no Emmet Cahill concert is complete without the ever-popular “request medley” segment, which often brings surprises from the audience!

Emmet is known as a principal singer with the acclaimed Irish music show Celtic Thunder. As a solo artist, he has performed in over 70 cities across North America and has been a featured guest artist with several US symphonies.

We are also thrilled to be featuring the St. Matthias choir who have been practising tirelessly for the occasion.

Reading list can be found in the Sunday bulletin or on the website by clicking below. Held in the Chapel Gallery.

The Chat and Chew Community Luncheon started in September of 2018 and has steadily grown since. On the 4th Wednesday of every month, we turn our simple hall into a dining room and have a wonderful time. There is always a 3 course meal with coffee and tea plus some sort of entertainment or learning experience. Some of the meals were Lasagne, Shepherds Pie, Quiche, along with various soups, salads and desserts. The entertainment has ranged from Target Theatre performing a live show to a visit with Santa Clause! The number of people attending has really taken off and we get busier every month.  Circle the 4th Wednesday of every month on your calendar, if you or someone you know would like to join us for a great lunch and some fun. 

St. Matthias is delighted to welcome Genevieve Charbonneau in concert with her special guests.   Award-winning Island singer-songwriter Genevieve Charbonneau is showcasing her latest collection of heartfelt songs in an island tour starting March 1. Her album, entitled “Heart is a Tower” is the first album recorded at SLS Studios, the new state-of-the-art recording studio at Shawnigan School, run by Grammy-winning engineer Steve Smith out of Seattle. Charbonneau, who won the 2017 BC songwriting competition, spent months in the studio fine-tuning the love and family-themed songs with producer and fellow songwriter Jack Connolly. The result is a stunning album with firm folk roots but high production values. Charbonneau will be accompanied by her band The Wild Sundays, as well as Jack Connolly on guitar and drummer Brian Horwitz.
