Welcome.

My name is Richard Cootes and I compose liturgical music. This site will be of interest to liturgists who prepare masses and prayer services for children and adults. The songs also support religious education.

The menu also includes a page dedicated to Formation and Spirituality for teachers in Catholic Schools around the theme LOVE IS OUR MISSION.

To sample the range of music this site is sharing, please view this video.
