ABOUT THE TOUR
Music is one of the most significant enhancements to our liturgical celebrations. Yet, for many parishes, the use of music can bring many issues, such as a lack of musicians, finding the time to practice and how to prepare the best repertoire.
In October the Archdiocese is hoping to inject some new life into music ministry. Genevieve Bryant (see Genevieve's Bio below) is a young musician from Melbourne. Her passion is liturgical music and she has spent the last year travelling Australia helping parishes improve their liturgical music. She has a deep understanding of the importance of bringing our young, gifted musicians in our Catholic schools into the music life of their parish.
Genevieve will be working in schools and parishes. Whilst her approach for each session will be fine-tuned to suit the needs of her audience, her main work will include:
- How to make an old hymn sound good
- Parts of the Mass
- Learning new music
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
The South Coast Youth Rally at Moruya and the Youth Muster at Young will focus on youth and young adults. However, parishioners of all ages are welcome to attend and join in the mix of prayer, worship, reflection, fun and food.
Music Nights at Moruya, Young, Cootamundra, Cooma and Canberra are open to all musicians, liturgy coordinators and anyone who loves to sing! Parishioners from parishes surrounding these locations are also invited to register and attend.
* Please Note: CEO teachers who attend can have the time counted towards hours for their currency for RE Accreditation.
