Convention Opening and Keynote
1:30 - 3:30 PM
Gathering and Annual Members’ Meeting
We gather in movement, song, and prayer to celebrate the gifts of liturgical renewal flowing from Vatican II. We welcome one
another and receive the welcome of national and local leaders. As members committed to fostering the art of musical liturgy, we
hear a brief summary of the work and state of the association.

Keynote: The Call to Participation
Rita Ferrone
The increased participation of the assembly and the increase in the number and variety of liturgical
ministers are two of the gifts of Sacrosanctum Concilium. While we have done very well with exterior
participation, we have not always been as conscious of interior participation. The exterior needs to
come from something deeper, something within. There has been much discussion, in the past fifty
years, about what “participatio actuosa” means in Sacrosanctum Concilium. What, then, is the nature of
full, conscious, and active participation? How do we do mystagogy in ways that engage in a mindful
manner the mysteries we celebrate? |
