Open and download the new Youth Liturgy and Music Document here.

The Liturgy and Catholic Youth Ministry offices have produced a resource for use in parish and school communities. Youth, Liturgy and Music- A pastoral response to preparing a meaningful Mass or prayer service for young people, with appropriate musical selection.

A team of consultants active in the field of youth, music and liturgy throughout the diocese, representing each deanery and the schools sector have contributed to the document. It provides a liturgical background on choosing appropriate songs for the different parts of the Mass, highlights in liturgy and suggestions to improve music in your community.

We are also looking at offering workshops for 2003, and will let you know when these have been finalised.

There are a couple of conflicting theories on Music in Ministry- Firstly that music gets young people into youth ministry, however on the other hand,  these days there are SOOOOOOOO many different styles of music, that you can just as easily cause division in a group by playing something that you think is targeted at your demographic, when in fact they are dancing to an entirely different beat....

If you're looking to use music to liven up a Youth Mass- one word of warning- "just cause the drums are loud, it doesn't mean that the music is good, and that young people will come along!" Go for good liturgy with relevant songs and you have much more of a chance....
