WORKSHOP: A1
How to Effectively Use Technology and Social Media:
Choir rehearsals: Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, ects
Technology and social networks can be important elements in the performance of our ministry if we know how to get the most out of it. You will have the opportunity to learn how to use these applications correctly while helping us to prepare in advance for rehearsals and presentations in a fast and changing world.
WORKSHOP: A2
The Use of the Guitar in the Liturgy
Basic rhythms and practical tips
Hispanic music has a variety of genres and rhythms. A workshop designed for the liturgical guitarist where you can explore the execution and accompaniment of various rhythmic patterns on the guitar. Participants must have basic or intermediate knowledge to take this workshop.
(Please bring your guitar and a music stand to play your music)
WORKSHOP: A3
The Roman Missal Third Edition:
History, novelty and application in our life and liturgical music
It is the first time in history that this country has its own Spanish edition of the Roman Missal. This book is not just for bishops and priests but for all God's people. It is a way that Hispanics express worship within our diversity as a people. Let us learn what its application is in the liturgy of the Church.
WORKSHOP: A4
The Usher and an effective Ministry of Hospitality:
Ministry of Love and Service
The usher is often the first official representative of Jesus Christ that people see as they enter the house of God. The positive attitude that an usher communicates helps set the tone of trust and spirituality for all whom God calls each Sunday. What are the challenges and obstacles of ushering? How to form an effective Hospitality team? We will share some successful pastoral practices and tools.
WORKSHOP: A5
The Minister of Music and the Ministry:
A channel of grace or stumbling block?
Why is spirituality important?
Every person who approaches this ministry must first aspire to serve. Leading the people of God is more than anything else a vocation. A parish's music ministry can enrich as well as weaken celebrations. How can we live what we sing and sing what we live? What are we missing?
WORKSHOP: A6
The Ministry of the Reader:
Proclaimers of the Word of God
and channels of his grace
When the Holy Scriptures are proclaimed in the Church, it is God himself who speaks to his people. Being part of this ministry at Mass is an honor, not a right. A good reader must have biblical-liturgical training, technical training and spiritual training. Let's talk about how to take advantage of such an important vocation.
WORKSHOP: A7
The Problem with Modern Day
Youth Ministry:
Transforming Youth from Event Goers to Disciples
Youth ministry is a unique, challenging, but also fulfilling calling. How can we as ministers reach their basic needs and form life-long disciples. How can we move away from only being an “event ministry” towards creating authentic relationships with the youth whom we serve? Come explore these challenges and learn new ideas to strengthen your youth ministry.
WORKSHOP: B1
Songs Appropriate for Weddings, Quinceañeras and Funerals
What can or cannot be sung?
Music as a means of evangelization enhances and enriches these celebrations. Although there is very nice music, unfortunately not all music is appropriate for the liturgy. In this workshop we will review the criteria that must be considered to choose appropriate songs for each liturgical celebration. We will present music for these celebrations
WORKSHOP: B2
essays
Tips, techniques and practical ideas for a complete and effective spiritual essay
Musical preparation beforehand is an essential element in seriously fulfilling the music ministry. This workshop is for anyone who is interested in getting ideas and tips on how to prepare effective and successful essays.
WORKSHOP: B3
Bilingual and Multicultural Liturgy:
How to integrate? Fears and Challenges
We know that there is no magic “wand” that holds the secret to all the questions that arise when participating in bilingual masses. In this workshop we will introduce the concept of “Modeling Integration” (sharing resources, practical ideas and tips). We will have dialogue time for questions and answers.
WORKSHOP: B4
Music in the Charismatic Renewal:
Musical renewal, an essential fruit of the Pentecost experience.
The music of the Charismatic Renewal is rejuvenating and refreshing in the life of the Church. We will share a repertoire of meditative songs, praise songs, liturgical songs, songs for prayer groups inspired by prayer and nourished by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit.
WORKSHOP: B5
The Psalmist/Cantor:
Guide and servant of the assembled assembly
The psalmist is the poetic and sung prayer guide of the Church. In this workshop we will talk about spiritual preparation and the different proclamation techniques that facilitate a slow, expressive, well-tuned song, so that the words reach the assembly and find an echo in it.
WORKSHOP: B6
Holy Mass:
What is its origin and meaning? How can I live it fully and go deeper into it?
We will share magnificent clues for reflection and safe orientations to those who wish to deepen and live with greater intensity the Mysterium fidei, which the Lord left us as his most valuable testament. What do the Fathers of the Early Church tell us about the liturgy of the Church? What does the magisterium of the Church tell us?
WORKSHOP: B7
Being a Missionary Disciple in the age of Social Media:
The meaning of discipleship in a digital world
What does it mean to be a missionary disciple? How are we to be disciples of mission in a fast-paced and social media driven world? In this workshop, participants will learn the pros and cons of social media and how the call toward missionary discipleship includes our "(digital) next door neighbors."

The New Roman Missal:
