You Are Invited ...
The conference theme speaks to the reality that liturgy, well-celebrated, leads to an encounter with Christ in the liturgical event, and thereby inspires members of the Body of Christ to continue the mission of the Church through dynamic expression in their daily lives.
It is anticipated the event will attract over 500 delegates including liturgists, musicians, clergy, cantors, choristers, lay liturgical ministers, composers, teachers, conductors, liturgy teams, campus ministers and many more.
Importantly, as a "peak body" gathering, the conference attendees will include key music and liturgy leaders and decision makers from Catholic dioceses, parishes, schools and agencies from throughout Australia and New Zealand.
