A National Liturgy & Music Conference celebrating sixty years since Vatican II's Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, presented jointly by the Australian Pastoral Musicians Network (APMN) & the National Liturgical Council (NLC) of the Australian Catholic Bishops' Conference.

Program

Mystery & Mission: The Art of Liturgical Celebration comprises a program of liturgies, keynotes, workshops, exhibits, sponsor showcases and networking opportunities designed to nurture and develop the art of liturgical celebration of mystery for mission.

The first day of the conference concludes with Sarah Hart in Concert, providing the opportunity for all delegates to experience the mystery and mission present in this young composer's internationally acclaimed liturgical music.

Focused Discussion Groups on Thursday and Friday mornings provide the opportunity for sharing and discussion among the conference delegates on the topics presented and the issues raised across all sessions of the conference.

We will start each morning with Prayer in a variety of different forms. Friday's Conference Mass at St Stephens Cathedral, Brisbane, will invite delegates to full participation in eucharistic liturgy.
