Conference Program

Pilgrims of Hope: Transformed through Sacrament & Song comprises a program of prayer & liturgy, keynotes, mini-keynotes, workshops, exhibits and networking opportunities designed to nurture and develop liturgical celebrations in parishes, schools and other agencies.

Information regarding Keynotes and Breakouts are included in the dedicated tabs in the menu bar above. They provide details of the presentation and workshop topics together with a synopsis of the presentation or workshop and biographical details of the presenter.

A Focused Discussion Group on Thursday morning offer the opportunity for sharing and discussion among the conference delegates on the topics presented and the issues raised across all sessions of the conference.

The Expert Panel Discussion on Thursday afternoon will provide a forum for our Keynote Speakers and other experts in liturgy and music to dialogue on issues affecting those working and ministering in liturgy and liturgical music.

Each morning begins with Prayer in a variety of forms. On Wednesday evening, delegates are invited to experience the celebration of Evening Prayer of the Church and Thursday's Conference Mass at St Francis Xavier Cathedral will welcome delegates to full participation in eucharistic liturgy. This will be followed by an optional social evening at the Conference Dinner.

All APMN members are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Australian Pastoral Musicians Network on Wednesday afternoon.
