The Rensselaer Liturgy Intensives provide an opportunity for parish ministers, catechists, musicians, and liturgists to come away for a few days of intensive study with one of several of the nation's finest liturgical scholars. Reflect on your experience of parish liturgy and on the principles undergirding liturgical celebration. New this year is a music intensive - a practical introduction to the use of English handbells with the director of one of Indiana's largest high school handbell programs.
