Radiant Witness: Sacred Music in the Church and in the World
We are excited to welcome renowned composer Paul Jernberg. Paul will share his three decades of experience composing sacred music for the Catholic Church. We will see that music is much more than just something that fills the space in our liturgies or provides emotional support; it is a "radiant witness" to the world.
The conference will include a Mass on both days, along with rehearsal time to provide the music for the liturgy. We will be singing Paul's music in various settings, including Mass of Saint Monica and the beautiful propers for the Mass for Holy Men and Holy Women. Paul will share the amazing resources that he has provided for parish musicians, including scores, recordings, and continuing education.
Highlighted breakout sessions:
- The renewal of a healthy music culture, in our parishes, schools, and families.
- The 25th Anniversary of Joseph Ratzinger's "The Spirit of the Liturgy" (with Dr. Charles Nolen).
- Accompanying choirs and cantors.
- Addressing performance anxiety as a musician.
