"We were delighted to host the workshop for cantors which was a real gift to our parish musicians as it gave an opportunity for our cantors and choir directors and others interested in singing in Church to come together, to be encouraged and supported as they learnt new material which they then took back to their local parishes.  The feedback on the ground after was a call for more of such events which are practical, affirm and encourage good liturgical music in our  parishes and teach new skills. "

Workshop for parish cantors in Glenstal Abbey on Saturday 23^rd September, 10.15 am-11.45 am

Day for Life is celebrated this year on Sunday 18 June. The theme is ‘Listen to Her’ and focuses on the experience of one Catholic woman in the aftermath of abortion.
