Liam Lawtons new CD – Prayers of Hope and Healing due for release on December 2011 also find out about upcoming tour dates in December 2011. From Prayers of Hope and Healing (Liam Lawton)     In a time of great uncertainty and changing world, many are searching for a deeper meaning in life. Many lives have been affected by global recession, conflict, hurt and confusion. People are realizing that perhaps to find a deeper more meaningful life we need to relieve ourselves of much superficiality and focus on the more important necessities. Faith in times of crisis has always given comfort, hope and consolation. In the Bible we are reminded three hundred and sixty five times not to be afraid ! Think of the reassurance of such words ~ One for every day of our year! In this new audio Cd ~ Prayers of Hope and Healing ~ Fr. Liam Lawton reinforces this assurance with words of comfort, courage and conviction. The prayers and reflections deal with many themes of life and society today ~ Joy, Sorrow, Growing old, Birth, Death, Work, Life and Loss… the pieces are set in beautiful orchestrations based on Liam’s original music by Mark Cahill ~ Liam’s musical director and allow the listener to absorb the text with time for reflection. The prayers are read by Liam, and many people will be familiar with his reflective voice from his many concerts and performances. This Cd will make a great travelling companion when our cars become our cathedrals or for one who simply wishes to take some quiet time in the midst of a busy day or night. It is not a full listening Cd but rather one that offers the listener a chance to select a particular theme from the many offered and journey to a resting place where a loving reassuring God awaits.   Tour Dates December Saturday 3rd Iontas, Castleblaney, Co.Monaghan Tickets: 042 9753400 (Not available @ www.ticketsireland.ie – Box office only) Thursday 8th Knock Shrine (St John’s rest & care centre) Co.Mayo Tickets: Knock Shrine office : 094 9388100 Sunday 11th Holy Family Church, Newington Ave,Belfast Tickets: Holy Family Church Prestbytery : 9074 3119 Tuesday 13th Church of the Immaculate Conception, Castlecomer,Co.Kilkenny Tickets: Parish Office: 056 4441262 Wednesday 14th St Jospeh’s Church Limerick Tickets: Parish Office: 061 313401 / 087 2348226 Thursday 15th St Peter & Paul’s Church,Portlaoise Tickets: Dunamaise Art Centre: 057 866 3355 / Parish Centre: 057 8621142 (Not available @ www.ticketsireland.ie – Box office only) Friday 16th All Hallows College Church Drumcondra, Dublin 9, Ireland.

Liam Lawton has been publishing Church music for 20 years.  In this interview he talks about his ministry and reflects on this milestone. Podcast Interview with Liam Lawton by Brenda Drumm on ReligionMatters (kfmradio.com) 20th anniversary concert More info – liamlawton.com Fr Liam Lawton, one of our priests here in Kildare & Leighlin Diocese, is celebrating 20 years of publishing Church music. Fr Liam is a native of Edenderry, County Offaly. After studies in Maynooth, he was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Kildare & Leighlin in 1984. After serving in the Cathedral Parish and Knockbeg College, Bishop Ryan gave him permission to pursue a full-time music ministry. This ministry was fully supported by his successor Bishop Moriarty. Fr Liam has recorded 12 collections for various record companies including EMI and GIA. His music has been translated and recorded in Spanish, German and Swedish and in the Irish language. Many well known artists both at home and abroad have recorded his songs. His music has been used at numerous auspicious occasions, including Concerts in the Vatican, the White House and the Chicago Symphony Hall. One of his compositions – the Cloud’s Veil- became especially popular in the US at the time of the 9/11 tragedy and featured frequently at Memorial Services for the 9/11 victims. Fr Liam has made a huge contribution to Church music. His compositions have become ‘standards’ for Church choirs and congregations here and abroad. His workshops have always been a great source of encouragement and advancement for choirs. Fr Liam has been closely associated with a number of charities and his concerts have often been used to raise much needed funds.     Podcasts Kildare & Leighlin Diocese no no http://www.kandle.ie/2011/03/17/la-re-congress-2011-live/ http://www.kandle.ie/2011/03/17/la-re-congress-2011-live/#comments Thu, 17 Mar 2011 19:38:41 +0000 KandLe Team http://www.kandle.ie/?p=23294 http://www.kandle.ie/2011/03/17/la-re-congress-2011-live/feed/ 0 http://www.kandle.ie/2011/02/11/liam-lawton-eurovision-2011/ http://www.kandle.ie/2011/02/11/liam-lawton-eurovision-2011/#comments Fri, 11 Feb 2011 07:25:22 +0000 KandLe Team http://www.kandle.ie/?p=22614 http://www.kandle.ie/2011/02/11/liam-lawton-eurovision-2011/feed/ 3 http://www.kandle.ie/2011/01/05/liam-lawton-tour-2011/ http://www.kandle.ie/2011/01/05/liam-lawton-tour-2011/#comments Wed, 05 Jan 2011 12:08:29 +0000 KandLe Team http://www.kandle.ie/?p=22148 http://www.kandle.ie/2011/01/05/liam-lawton-tour-2011/feed/ 1 http://www.kandle.ie/2010/12/16/liam-lawton-holding-on-to-you/ http://www.kandle.ie/2010/12/16/liam-lawton-holding-on-to-you/#comments Wed, 15 Dec 2010 23:22:39 +0000 KandLe Team http://www.kandle.ie/?p=21950 http://www.kandle.ie/2010/12/16/liam-lawton-holding-on-to-you/feed/ 0 http://www.kandle.ie/2010/11/12/liam-lawton-album-tour-dates/ http://www.kandle.ie/2010/11/12/liam-lawton-album-tour-dates/#comments Fri, 12 Nov 2010 12:58:49 +0000 KandLe Team http://www.kandle.ie/?p=21487 http://www.kandle.ie/2010/11/12/liam-lawton-album-tour-dates/feed/ 2 0:00:35 Listen to a clip from Fr.
