National Liturgy and Music Conference 2025—Pilgrims of Hope: Transformed through Sacrament and Song

The Australian Pastoral Musicians Network and the National Liturgical Council are delighted to invite you to their 2025 National Liturgy and Music Conference, Pilgrims of Hope: Transformed through Sacrament and Song.

The theme for the conference builds on the theme for the 2025 Jubilee Year of Mercy: Pilgrims of Hope as it speaks to the transformative power of the liturgical event, through sacrament and song, to change hearts and to inspire God’s people to be a Church on mission to bring the joyful proclamation of the Gospel to the world.

The event is expected to attract up to 500 delegates including liturgists, musicians, clergy, cantors, choristers, lay liturgical ministers, composers, teachers, conductors, liturgy teams, campus ministers and many more.

Importantly, as a 'peak body' gathering, conference attendees will include key music and liturgy leaders and decision makers from Catholic dioceses, parishes, schools and agencies from throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Keynote presenters

• Fr Ricky Manalo CSP PhD, composer, liturgist and theologian
• Rita Ferrone, liturgist and theologian
• Fr Richard Leonard SJ PhD, parish priest and international speaker
