What do all liturgical ministers have in common? How do they both serve the assembly and model fruitful participation? How do formation programs for these ministers ensure competency as well as a true sense of ministry? How do we continually support these ministers? This session will offer key insights to diocesan and parish leaders as well as to those who exercise these ministries faithfully. How do we encourage and form those lay ministers who regularly lead prayer services, devotions, the celebration of the Hours, or Sunday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest.
Presenters: Ms. Victoria Tufano and Msgr. Michael Begolly

How does the thoughtful selection and preparation of liturgical music and the formation of pastoral musicians assist in deepening the assembly’s participation? How do music leaders effectively accommodate the cultural, pastoral, and liturgical needs of the assembly whom they serve?
Presenters: Dr. Dolores Martinez and Dr. Steven Janco
