Inspiring parish musicians to “perceive the body and blood of Christ as an integral part of their lived experience and the experience of those around them” is the goal of the Diocese of Superior’s 2022 Music Ministry Retreat & Workshop, said Paul Birch, director of the Office of Worship.
“I hope and pray that our attendees will grow in their understanding that pastoral music always supports the concept that charity, justice and evangelization are normal consequences of liturgy,” he added.
Canceled in 2020 and reinstated as a virtual gathering in 2021, this year’s workshop will also be virtual, which Birch said was due to the presenters’ COVID concerns.
“I would always much rather offer live and in-person events, but I concede that – into the future – live and in-person events will always depend on circumstances,” he added. “Hopefully our 2023 event won’t have to be virtual.”
