| Openings are still available for a cantor formation class scheduled to begin Aug. 2 at St. Mary Magdalen Church, Camarillo.
Coordinated through the archdiocesan Office for Worship, the eight-week class (7-9:30 p.m. Mondays, except for Labor Day, through Sept. 27) is the "A" portion of the two-part certification process. Participants are expected to have basic abilities in music-reading, matching pitch, maintaining a melody; a basic knowledge of liturgy; and a basic spirit of hospitality and service.
 Required
texts --- including the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy,
"Music in Catholic Worship," "Liturgical Music Today" and
the General Instruction of the Roman Missal --- will be available
for purchase the first night of class, led by Janis Nelson,
M.A., cantor and liturgy director at St. Mary Magdalen and
a member of the Office for Worship music committee.
Registration is $85. Forms are available on the Office for Worship website, www.laliturgy.org. For information, call (213) 637-7262.
