This article addresses the issue of liturgical formation in the context of sacred music as an integral element of the liturgy. The liturgical renewal initiated by the Second Vatican Council began a process through which the faithful are formed for
full, conscious, active, and fruitful participation in the liturgy. However, this process faces numerous challenges, such as the loss of the ability to
understand the symbolic language of the liturgy, secularization, disbelief, and diverse liturgical sensibilities. The author analyzes liturgical-musical workshops as an alternative form of formation that, through the teaching of polyphonic singing, Gregorian chant, and participation in thematic conferences, allows the faithful to experience the liturgical encounter with God more deeply. The study, based on the historical-critical method, presents a historical outline of the initiative, the characteristics of the event, and the effects of liturgical formation, referring to the experiences of
workshops organized in Skoczów in 2023–2026. It demonstrates how these workshops, conducted on two tracks—musical and spiritual—contribute to raising liturgical awareness, forming musical personnel in parishes, building community, and promoting a culture of liturgical music in accordance
with the spirit of conciliar reform.
