It’s time to finalize our preparations for Los Angeles Religious Education Congress 2006! "Step Into Freedom" is the theme for this year’s Congress. It is Jesus’ call for each of us to be released from all that holds us bound and distant from him. Just as he called his dear friend Lazarus from the tomb, we, too, are summoned to his radiance from all that might darken our path. Bob Halligan of Ceili Rain and Pedro Rubalcava have written a beautiful theme song for this year’s conference.   The Los Angeles Religious Education Congress continues to grow with each passing year. Last year, over 36,000 delegates attended. It remains the largest annual catechetical and liturgical gathering in the world; and it happens every year right here in Anaheim.   Here in the Los Angeles Archdiocese, liturgy is celebrated every Sunday in no fewer than 40 different languages. Living in the gift, promise and spirit of the Second Vatican Council, the L.A. Religious Education Congress liturgies have grown as they have embraced this wonderfully diverse church. Without exaggeration, complimentary reports and reviews come from six of the world’s seven continents. From Gregorian chant to gospel choirs; from Aztec dancers to Vietnamese and African drummers; we’ve worked diligently to inculturate the liturgy to accurately and authentically reflect the church of Los Angeles.   The combined talents of nearly 275 musicians comprise the group that will provide the music for the final liturgies on Sunday, April 2. Over 19,000 people attend these liturgies. Prior to 1991, the "band" consisted of piano, one percussionist, one guitar, electric bass and a synthesizer. The choir was 16 voices. Over the years, both the choir and band have grown considerably in depth and membership. Today's Congress Band/Orchestra consists of approximately 40 instrumentalists and last year's choir was the largest with over 225 members from 6 dioceses. Last year, we had nearly 30 students from 6 different colleges and universities singing with us. We’re working hard to include as many talented people as possible in this experience.
