Sing with One Voice Catholic schools concert
Support the Denis Hurley Centre fundraising evening.
Seven Durban Catholic schools are uniting to show their support for the Denis Hurley Centre by presenting an evening of choral music and dance, Sing with One Voice, at the Emmanuel Cathedral.
St Benedict’s – Pinetown, St Francis – Mariannhill, Holy Family – Glenwood, St Henry’s Marist, Our Lady of Fatima – Durban North, Maris Stella and Kwa Thintwa School for the Deaf (which was founded by Archbishop Hurley) will perform at Emmanuel Cathedral on Thursday, 20 August at 6.30pm.
Prior to the concert, there will be a free tour of the Denis Hurley Centre at 5.30pm
In 2012, a group of Grade 11 girls from Maris Stella visited the projects at the cathedral, and were impressed with the work with refugees, homeless and unemployed people, as well as those with HIV/Aids, so they decided to do something to help. They approached other schools in the greater Durban area to join them in a concert of sacred music.
Volunteers from the cathedral have tirelessly campaigned for years to get sufficient funds to build the DHC. Now that the building is complete, fund-raising continues in earnest to equip, furnish and staff the centre. The formal opening of the building will be in November this year.
Entry is free and all are welcome. A collection will be taken for the Denis Hurley Centre. Safe parking will be available at the cathedral.
