DOCUMENT FOR DOWNLOAD
These past years, parish priests and consecrated persons have been asking the Diocesan Commission on Liturgy and Popular Religiosity for a practical guide for the catechesis, training, and formation of choirs and musicians. After years of discussion, consultation, and research, the commission is pleased to present the local church this very essential document.
In reality, parish choirs and musicians have not been receiving spiritual and pastoral formation.

We are servants of God, servants of the Sacred Liturgy, and servants of our Christian communities. Let us make our service not about us, but about Christ among us.

Together with other lay liturgical ministers, the MLM is tasked to ensure that the faithful understand the message of the celebration from beginning to end.
Given this very important task, we have to remember that as choir leaders and members we are not performers showcasing our talents when we sing at mass. We are ministers who guide the faithful in praying through our music in the highest form of worship for us Catholics - the celebration of the Eucharist.

The beauty of the Liturgy lies in the appropriateness of the music, and the full and active participation of the people celebrating it. We, the liturgical music ministers, must be equiped in selecting music for the liturgy and must develop a passion for finding ways on how to make the faithful participate in the singing during our celebrations.
Generally, Choral music encourages listening than participating. More often than not, skillful singing of a full SATB arrangements in our Eucharistic Celebrations construde as performances. This is simply because singing in SATB is unnecessary in the Catholic Liturgy.
My challenge to the parishes is to spend their time, treasure and talent to the essentials rather than the esthetics. Essentials are legit liturgical formation, organ accompaniment training, research and development of appropriate music, planning a strategic methodology for participative singing.
