Presenters:
Fr. John T. Zuhlsdorf (contributer to The Wander, "Ask Father" and the very popular Catholic blog, "What Does the Prayer Really Say?")
Mr. Jeffery Tucker (Sacred Music, the popular Catholic blog, New Liturgical Movement, and author of Sing Like a Cahtolic)

Fr. David Grondz (Parochial Vicar of St. Mary Catholic Church)

Liturgical change is upon us int he life of Catholic parishes. A new Missal translation is on its way. New music in English and Latin is available as never before. The older Missal of the extraordinary is in early stages of living alongside the modern Missal of the ordinary form. All of this points to a new interest in solemnity, decorum, and beauty in Catholic ligurgy.

This conference will explore these new trends with top experts on liturgical texts, music and vestments, with the goal of the fully sung Mass with chant in English and Latin at the vigil Mass for Corpus Christi, followed by the extraordinary form Mass the next morning. The assembled choir will rehearse and sing the full "Lauda Sion" chant, along with newly published English chants.
