The winter workshop hosted by the Association of Church Musicians of Philadelphia will take place Saturday, Feb. 5 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Empress Room at St. Helena Church, 1489 DeKalb Pike in Blue Bell.

The talk “Rediscovering Sacrosanctum Concilium: What’s Right with the Rite” will focus on why we needed the liturgical changes of Vatican II, what did change in the music and where are we today.

Also explored is “Rising to the Challenge: COVID and Liturgical Ministry” on the effect of live-streaming on church congregations and how COVID-19 has affected liturgical ministers.

Presenters include Father Dennis Gill, Mercy Sister Mary Ann Clarahan, Father Frank Berna and Father Ed Windhaus. The program includes a Q & A session with all the speakers.

Registration and continental breakfast open at 8:15 a.m., opening prayer and welcome begin at 9, and lunch is included.
