Worship | Music

Each year our liturgies are a conference highlight. And you’ll have several opportunities to actively participate in them, including:
Enroll in our conference choir
Here’s a great opportunity for your choir members to participate in a “mass” choir of many voices for our conference Eucharist directed by composers of music you sing at home — with free music from publishers for all choir participants. (Indicate your enrollment on the registration form)
So you’re interested in liturgical dance
Join nationally acclaimed artists Fr. Bob VerEecke, S.J., and Donna Anderle. Bob is pastor of St. Ignatius Church in Chestnut Hill, MA and Jesuit Artist-in-Residence at Boston College. He is also co-author of “Introducing Dance in Christian Worship” (Pastoral Press). Donna is a choreographer/dancer/author and artist with OCP.
This is an ideal opportunity for enrichment and sharing that will improve cooperation among your parish staff.
Our gathering offers workshop sessions focused on music and liturgy. They’re specifically designed for parish musicians, liturgists, youth ministers and those involved in youth ministry, cantors, accompanists, and choir members
Workshops sessions with Tony Alonso, Janet Vogt | Donna Anderle | Mark Friedman, Cyprian Consiglio, Rory Cooney, Theresa Donohoo, Marty Haugen, Meredith Dean Joseph, Tom Kendzia, Val Limar-Jansen, Jorge Rivera, Chris de Silva, Chris Walker, Tom Booth and Sr. Paule Freeburg (complete information is found in the program section).
Val Limar-Jansen, a conference mainstay, will be helping again to lead our conference prayer.
Our conference liturgies are planned by Tom Kendzia.
