Pilgrims of Hope

The Irish Church Music Association (ICMA) is delighted to announce its 2025 Summer School, “Pilgrims of Hope”, taking place in Maynooth from Tuesday, 1st July, to Thursday, 3rd July. This year’s theme, inspired by the journey of faith and renewal, reflects our shared mission as Pilgrims of Hope, bringing together musicians, singers, and liturgical leaders to explore the transformative power of music in our Church communities.

The Summer School offers a series of workshops focused on Church Music. Whether you’re familiar with the Summer School experience or are new to the world of liturgical music, these enriching days in Maynooth will provide an opportunity to sing, pray, and join together in joyful praise of God. You will learn new repertoire, gain deeper liturgical knowledge, and develop valuable skills in sight reading, improvisation, composition, song selection, and choir leadership—all taught by some of the finest Irish Church musicians and composers.

More than just a place of learning, the Summer School is a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for music and ministry. Highlights include the “Share Your Gifts” Concert, where participants are invited to showcase their talents, and a lively quiz evening filled with fun and fellowship. Friendships forged here often last a lifetime.

As Pilgrims of Hope, let us come together to be inspired, to deepen our connection with liturgical music, and to develop our musical talents in service to God and His Church. Join us this July in Maynooth for a truly uplifting experience that will renew your spirit and strengthen your ministry.
