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.
