Rita, Ricky and Richard – It wasn’t intentional, but the Pilgrims of Hope: Transformed through Sacrament and Song conference will bring together three keynote speakers who will likely resonate with their rigorous revelations about rites, ritual and rhythm. 

Too much? Well, forgive us if we reiterate: We’re on a rhythmic roll of the “Rs”!

This October 1 to 3, Adelaide will host a remarkable gathering of liturgical leaders, musicians, and educators with keynote speakers Rita Ferrone, Fr Ricky Manalo CSP, and Fr Richard Leonard SJ, and we cannot resist telling you all about these renowned leaders in liturgy, music and theology.

Rita Ferrone, award-winning liturgical theologian, underscores this theme: “Our pilgrimage of hope reconnects us to the gift of the liturgy. It’s not just ritual – it’s how we rediscover God’s presence in our communities”

Fr Ricky Manalo CSP, a Filipino-American composer and theologian, shares how his roots in devotional music and intercultural ministry reinforce the universal call to praise.

Fr Richard Leonard SJ, bestselling author and pastor, focuses on liturgy’s radical potential to evangelise.

The conference, at Adelaide’s Hilton Hotel, will be a rare opportunity to reconnect with 500+ liturgists, educators, and artists from Australia and New Zealand.
