Hello everyone and welcome once again to our monthly newsletter.

Knockadoon 2003

The dates are fixed, the guests are coming and so it's all go for Knockadoon 2003.

So here goes - we're planning to run our annual course this year from 17th - 24th of August. No, it's not a mistake, the camp this year will run from Sunday to Sunday giving us organisers a whole day to get the camp ready for your arrival.

Application forms and promotional posters etc... will be available in the near future and will be posted out to all last years participants as soon as we get them.

I would recommend getting your application as soon as possible as we have had a huge interest already in the course.

Special Guests

So who's coming…

We're delighted to annouce that this years special guests will be Lori True who you will all remember from last year and Marty Haugen.

Marty Haugen is a liturgical composer from Eagan, Minnesota. For the past fifteen years he has presented workshops across North America, Europe, Australia, and Central America for both Roman Catholic and Protestant liturgical ministers. His communion setting, Now the Feast and Celebration, and his vespers service, Holden Evening Prayer, are well known among Lutheran congregations, while his Mass of Creation is arguably the most widely used musical setting of the Ordinary among English-speaking Roman Catholic parishes. Together with David Haas, he began the popular GIA psalm series, Psalms for the Church Year. Marty has over 250 separate titles published through GIA on more than twenty recorded collections, including such songs as "We Remember," "Shepherd Me, O God," and "Gather Us In." His music appears in numerous GIA hymnals, as well as hymnals produced for Canadian and Australian Roman Catholics, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), and numerous other Protestant denominations.
