PORTLAND — The Basilica of Ss. Peter & Paul in Lewiston will host the second annual Maine Sacred Music Conference on Thursday, Aug. 12, and Friday, Aug. 13.
“Participants will be joining Catholic musicians, religious, and lay people dedicated to the revival of the centuries-old commitment to beauty and reverence in Catholic liturgy as they explore the liturgical forms and practices that have long formed the foundation of Catholic worship,” said Scott Vaillancourt, music director at the Basilica.
The conference will include sessions that focus on the Novus Ordo and how to appreciate, learn about and prepare for Novus Ordo liturgies. There will be a Novus Ordo Mass celebrated at the Basilica to finish the day. It will also have sessions that will take a closer look at the history and traditions of the Catholic liturgy.
