It requires skill, determination, patience, sensitivity and grace to build and maintain a good parish music program. This workshop will help the parish musician in such areas as recruitment, covenanting and spiritual formation, running rehearsals, preparing for liturgy and organizing effective worship committees.

 
How can we, as a Church, celebrate our faith with passion week after week? We’ll explore some practical tips to help the congregation move beyond the “sit, stand and stare” syndrome, and move toward full, active and conscious participation. We’ll also look at ways to make your parish worship more powerful. We are called to share our talents for the Lord, but we’ll never be able to lead with passion until we start praying with passion.

How does one describe the indescribable but through poetry and art? Poetry is the language and form of our Eucharistic Liturgy. Thirty-five years after the Second Vatican Council, we’re still singing at designated places in the liturgy and not capturing the full expression of our faith as poets, artists, and worshippers of an extremely rich tradition. We’re “decorating” our churches. We’re viewing “the public work of the church” – liturgy as something that occurs one hour a week. Let’s enter fully into the richness of Eucharist in this workshop. This workshop is designed for all those – not just musicians - who minister and worship in the Catholic community of faith.
 
A "How-To" approach in damaging and destroying the hearts of the faithful; as well as getting in the way of the Holy Spirit! We’ll explore time honored ways, as well as new state-of-the-art technologies that leave the heart longing, aching and desperate for a more genuine and authentic experience of God's transforming presence.
