ATTENTION YOUNG PEOPLE!


Come learn, sing, and celebrate with over 150 talented young people from all over the United States, Canada and beyond and proclaim your love of music, the liturgy, and the awesome presence of God.
 
MMA is open to any of you who, this fall, will be entering 10th, 11th, 12th grade or your first two years of college, and who are presently involved and/or interested in deepening your call as ministers of music in your parish and school communities.
MMA is a wonderful opportunity to grow musically, liturgically, spiritually – and to discover and deepen the leadership potential that God has planted within you.
 
MMA is held each summer on the beautiful campus of St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minnesota.  It takes place in a daily rhythm of prayer, workshops, and special events where you will learn about liturgy, ministry, scripture, and leadership, with many opportunities to sharpen your musical skills. 
 
MMA is led by internationally known composer, author, teacher and liturgical musician David Haas, assisted by an exciting and nationally acclaimed team of talented musicians, youth ministers and teachers.
