Liturgical Music Ministry

A Formation Programme in Liturgy and Liturgical Music is being introduced in the Diocese of Killaloe. The Programme is designed for people who already work in music ministry whether as directors of choirs or folk groups, cantors, musicians etc.  Those who lead choirs and folk-groups will find it especially helpful and supportive.

 Those who are new to this ministry or those who would like to be involved are also welcome.

The Programme is designed to deliver seven day-long modules on Liturgy and Liturgical Music over a two year period.  Three workshops will be held in 2015/2016 and a further four will take place in 2016/17.  The Programme will run over three Saturdays (November, February, April) for two years.  Each Saturday will begin at 10.00 a.m. and end at 4.00 p.m.   The final workshop will be one of celebration of the learning and looking forward to next steps.   It will involve an overnight stay in the Cistercian Monastery, Roscrea.  A Certificate of Course Completion will be awarded by the National Centre for Liturgy, Maynooth.
