Semana de Estudio de la Conferencia Litúrgica del Suroeste (Virtual)
THEME: “As We Await the Blessed Hope: Liturgy in Challenging Times”
“Mientras Aguardamos la Bendita Esperanza:
La Liturgia en Tiempos Difíciles”
Dear friends in the Archdiocese:
I have some exciting news to share with you. For almost 60 years, the Southwest Liturgical Conference has held a spring study-week on liturgy. Because of the pandemic, this year’s Study Week will be entirely on-line. This means that other than the registration fee, there is no travel expense or hotel expense. A registration link is provided below. Presentations are in English and Spanish.
The three-day Study Week starts next Tuesday, February 2, but here is some good news. If you enroll now, you have access to all the talks, live and archived, for six weeks after the program concludes.
Living in these pandemic days, we will explore the ways in which the liturgy and sacraments are signs of hope for us. Join us!
Viviendo en estos días de pandemia, exploraremos las maneras en que la liturgia y los sacramentos son signos de esperanza para nosotros. ¡Acompáñenos!
There will be four General Session speakers and thirty workshop sessions over the three days. Bilingual workshops, workshops for RCIA teams, and presentations on Liturgical Ministry, Liturgical Arts, Music showcases, and many more will be presented. The cost is $150 for the full conference or $50.00 per day.
Habrá cuatro sesiones generales y treinta talleres a lo largo de los tres días. Talleres bilingües, talleres para equipos de RICA, y presentaciones sobre ministerio litúrgico, arte litúrgico, exhibiciones musicales y mucho más. El costo es de $150 por la conferencia completa o $50 por día.
Major speakers will be Bishop Mark Seitz, Dr. Massimo Fraggioli, Dr. Vanessa White, and Diana Macalintal.
