National Liturgy and Music Conference

A national conference focusing on the theme 'Pilgrims of Hope: Transformed through Sacrament and Song'. Jointly organised by the Australian Pastoral Musicians Network (APMN) and the National Liturgical Council (NLC), the conference responds to the call by the late Pope Francis to become “tireless cultivators of the Gospel” by focusing on the liturgy as the “source and summit” of Christian life. To be held at the Hilton Hotel from October 1-3, the conference offers a rich program designed to refresh ministries and reimagine worship. More than 50 workshops will be on offer – spanning liturgical art, sacramental ministry, choral leadership and youth engagement – with delegates learning about practical tools to reinvigorate parish and school communities. Sessions on chant, organ, composition and intercultural worship will refresh musicians and liturgists alike, while renewed emphasis on sacred architecture and ritual will invite the reimagining of physical and spiritual spaces.
