Pastoral Notes

The Australian Pastoral Musicians Network has been given permission by the Catholic Diocese of Wollongong to publish their recently updated Version 2 copyright guidance documents. The revised documents take account of the new landscape of copyright license providers in Australia (OneLicense, CCLI and APRA/AMCOS) and the broader range of licenses now available from these providers.

The guidelines can be downloaded from our Documents page.

Liturgist Bruce Morrill recently posted an article in PrayTellBlog about a Mass he recently attended in Slovenia where they incorporate Australian Hillsong music as part of the hymnody within Mass and then continue singing praise and worship songs after the Mass has concluded.

Does anything like that happen anywhere in Australia?
