This includes letting us know where you are involved in music (e.g. your parish, school, or youth group). If you aren't doing music in a Catholic setting yet, just let us know and we'll help to connect you in the way that best suits you.
If you know who you want to be your teacher, let us know who it is in your application. It's important that they be able to teach the style of music needed for worship.
If you don't have a teacher or need help finding one, just let us know on the application and we'll try to help!
Meet the Chaplain or a team member from Music for Mission along with your family. This can happen wherever suits you best, at home, at a parish nearby, or at Father’s residence.
You'll be expected to attend 2 formative events, either a retreat or a mission, during the semester you're applying for.
It’s up to the parents to arrange the lessons with the music teacher, while ensuring that they contact Music for Mission to cover the cost.
Once all this has been done, Music for Mission will cover the costs of the lessons for up to a total cost of up to $500. At the end of each semester, there is a simple process for renewing the agreement for another semester. This gives us the opportunity to evaluate your progress.
We’ll also check in regularly with the parents and music teacher on the progress and commitment to the program. Keeping up with personal practice between lessons is essential.
1. A sincere and growing relationship with Christ, expressed in a daily prayer life, and including a desire to serve him with your music.
2. Regular participation in a choir, worship band, serving as cantor, or the like, in your parish, school or youth group.
3. Have a conversation once a month with the Chaplain or a team member, to check-in on your training and growth as a musical missionary.
4. Attendance at one of the Missions or Retreats held by Music for Mission. These will give you the chance to use your gifts along with other youth.
5. Regular practice between lessons is essential – preferably daily.
Music for Mission is a part of Hamilton Mission Youth and works in conjunction with Regnum Christi Ontario with the ministerial support of the Legionaries of Christ.
