PORTLAND, Ore./ANAHEIM, Calif., March 14, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Starting March 22, 2012, OCP and their contemporary music division, spiritandsong.com will serve the nearly 40,000 Catholics attending Youth Day and Los Angeles Religious Education Congress (LA RECongress) with faith formation and prayerful guidance though workshops, events and music -- and they're inviting you along.
A long time supporter of RECongress, OCP will conduct English and Spanish language workshops covering: spirituality, youth ministry, music, personal development and more. In addition to workshops, OCP and spiritandsong.com presenters will provide leadership during prayer moments as well as entertainment including unveiling the commissioned RECongress theme song, "Voice Infusing Life/Voz Que Infunde Vida" composed by spiritandsong.com artist Santiago Fernández during the opening event, March 23, 2012.
In her message to participants in the RECongress program book, Director, Sister Edith Prendergast, RSC writes, "...'Voice Infusing Life' beckons us to attend to the voice of God which echoes though the ages...The well prepared liturgical celebrations and entertainment provided are sure to lift hearts and worship in a chorus of spirits."
