Wednesday Workshops

As we were unable to go ahead with our Spring Gathering days this year, Society of Saint Gregory will be holding a series of online workshops which will take place on Wednesday evening (from 7.30 to 9.00pm) so that we can continue with our teaching objectives.  The sessions will take place via Zoom.

Martin Barry

21 October 2020 – The Virtual Choir: how to do it and when to use it.

This session will be led by Martin Barry, who was Choirmaster and Director of Music at Salford Cathedral for 23 years and now leads the music at Our Lady’s in Lillington and the joint Virtual Choir of Catholic Leamington.

Paul Inwood

11 November 2020 – Safe Music at Mass: what we are able to do to support the liturgy during a pandemic.  This session will be led by Paul Inwood, internationally known liturgist, organist, choral conductor, author, speaker and composer of the official Vatican Hymn for the Holy Year of Mercy.

Proclaiming the Word: now and forever

2 December 2020 – Proclaiming the Word: now and forever.  This session will be led by Marian Tolley, who has spent a lifetime studying and teaching and in recent years has focused on what it is we do when we come together to celebrate. She has developed courses for ministers of the Word and written a Handbook and a Workbook for Readers.

The online sessions will be interactive, with lots of practical help and tips.  The charge for these workshops is £10 per person or £25 if you book all three.

Mgr Kevin McGinnell

25 November 2020 – Preparing for Christmas during a Pandemic   This session will be led by Mgr Kevin McGinnell and will look at how we might be getting ready to celebrate Christmas in our parishes, and how we can involve the whole parish community.
