We had a lovely book launch of “Larksong” – a collection of hymns and songs of Cecily Sheehy this afternoon.  We heard how this book has been 20 years in the making.  When Cecily worked for the Liturgy Centre they tasked her with finding music to match the theme of monthly resources.   Research was never her strength so instead she started writing songs.   Over the years she has written songs for special liturgies, for Dominican Sister Chapter Songs, songs for children and so much more.   The chapters include:

– Songs of planet earth

– Songs for children and families

– Graces before a meal

– Songs for meditation

– Songs for Liturgical Use

– Songs for Advent and Christmas

– Dominican Songs and Hymns

Let us give thanks for Cecily Sheehy‘s music ministry over so many years!  Books are available from Jacqui Ryan for $40.00.
