The times have changed dramatically in light of Benedict XVI’s Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum. The old and new forms of the Roman Rite are coming together in parish experience, in both a growing theology of tradition and the experience of parish music, which is focusing ever more on Gregorian chant. The textbook will be The Parish Book of Chant, which is newly published and will be distributed at no charge for attendees.

We will focus on some basic methods as well as some available resources in both Latin and English for use in your parish Liturgies. Come and join us for a day fun and learning. The Workshop will begin at 9AM with registrations, and the participants will sing at the 4.15 anticipated Sunday Mass. Lunch will be provided at no cost (but donations accepted).

Please RSVP by THURSDAY; June 5th. The workshop fee is $40.

“The Church acknowledges Gregorian chant as specially suited to the Roman liturgy: therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of place in liturgical services.”—Sacrosanctum Concilium; #116; Vatican Council II.
