Adelaide to host liturgy and music conference

Up to 500 Catholic liturgists, musicians, teachers and parishioners from Australia and New Zealand will gather in Adelaide in October for a national liturgy and music conference. The conference theme, Pilgrims of Hope: Transformed through Sacrament and Song, embraces the focus of the Jubilee Year as it responds to Pope Francis’ prayer that all are transformed into “tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel”. The conference aims to inspire all who prepare and serve in liturgical ministries. The program will offer more than 50 workshop options covering a myriad of liturgy and music topics. Streams and mini-streams include sessions for liturgical art and architecture, sacraments and liturgical ministries, music and liturgy in schools and for young people as well as cantor, choral, chant, organ, guitar and composition workshops.
