Evangelisation Through Music: Reclaiming the Church’s Musical Heritage in our State Schools

The Catholic Union is delighted to announce that it will be holding a webinar on Wednesday 13 January at 6.00pm to explore how we can use sacred music to drive school engagement and youth mission and social mobility across the UK. Chaired by Catherine Pepinster, well known journalist, attendees will hear from Benjamin Saunders, the architect of the National Schools Singing Programme (NSSP).

Originating from a highly successful model developed over two decades in the Diocese of Leeds, the NSSP has scaled into a major UK-wide educational force. Under the patronage of Sir John Rutter, the programme supports over 38,000 state school children weekly across 437 schools, bypassing traditional educational silos to create more than 70 permanent professional music roles for young graduates.

Those wishing to register for the webinar on Wednesday 13 January at 6.00pm please email info@catholicunion.org.uk and a zoom link will be provided.  Booking is essential, but all are welcome.
