Round Table Discussion
22-23 November 2013
Celebrating 50 Years of the Constitution on the Liturgy
The National Centre for Liturgy, in association with the Faculty of Theology, St Patrick's College, Maynooth, conducted a two day conference to mark the 50th anniversary of the promulgation of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium at the Second Vatican Council.
The formal approval and promulgation of this Constitution, the first document of the Council took place on 4 December 1963. 22 November 1963 was also a historic occasion at the Council, though overshadowed by the assassination of President John F Kennedy. 22 November is the feast of St Cecilia, patron of music and 1963 marked the 60th anniversary of the document on church music of Pope Pius X, Tra le sollectudini, which included the first papal reference to the active participation of the people in the liturgy of the Church. At the Council it was the day when the final amendments of the Constitution on the Liutrgy were approved before the formal promulgation twelve days later.
The guest speaker for the conference was Fr J Michael Joncas, the liturgical scholar and composer from St Paul-Minneapolis.
The conference began with the welcome by Mgr Hugh Connolly, President of St Patrick's College, to a large attendance, including Archbishop Eamon Martin and people involved in liturgy from all parts of the country.
A round table discussion was held on Friday afternoon, with guest speakers,
- Bishop Harold Miller, Bishop of Down and Dromore, chair of the Church of Ireland Liturgical Advisory Committee,
- Sr Anne Codd, PBVM, resource person for the Council for Pastoral Renewal and Adult Faith Development,
- Fr Peter McVerry, SJ, champion of the homeless for over 30 years, and
- Dr Frank Lawrence, lecturer in early music history, UCD.
The afternoon concluded with the celebration of Evening Prayer in St Mary's Oratory.
On Friday evening, Fr J Michael Joncas, gave a public lecture, with a response from an Irish perspective by Julie Kavanagh, pastoral resource person in Kildare and Leighlin. The event was streamed live by ICatholic. The evening concluded with the celebration of Compline and a reception.
On Saturday, Fr Joncas conducted a day workshop on music in and after Sacrosanctum Concilium. Renehan Hall was packed as he spoke on Chapter VI of the Constitution and as hymnody and psalmody, composed by the guest speaker and from Irish composers, illustrated the music we use in worship today. The workshop included a Service of the Word, which included the closing of the Year of Faith on the vigil of the feast of Christ the King.
