Conception Abbey wants to be a resource for the Church in the Midwest for liturgical music: “Music in the Liturgy” workshop Aug. 2-5, 2010 aims to answer a need for liturgical and musical formation for parish ministers. The workshop includes three days of classes on Eucharistic theology and spirituality, which set the stage for classes on criteria for liturgical music, history of chant, cantoring and choir/congregational singing and more. There will also be a presentation on the new liturgical psalter by Abbot Gregory Polan, OSB, the main translator of the psalms.
