In January 2006, Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades established a special ministry in the Diocese of Harrisburg to help renew the heart of the Church through Eucharistic praise and worship. Personal spiritual renewal is so important for the success of all of our ministries in the Church. This new ministry seeks to assist the People of God through the power of music and the Eucharist and finds its home in the Office of Worship.
Mr. Martin Doman serves as the coordinator for Renewal Through Eucharistic Praise and Worship Programs. Martin is a widely respected musician and composer. While he has extensive experience working with young people, his gifts are also greatly appreciated by persons of any age. The programs include Eucharistic Holy Hours, parish and school retreats, morning, afternoon, or evenings of prayer, Confirmation retreats, youth rallies, and concerts. Martin is available to facilitate these programs at your parish or school. Contact the Office of Worship to make arrangements.
One of the key elements of this ministry is called a Caelorum service (chay-lor-um). This service is a Eucharistic Adoration service with praise and worship music. There is a Caelorum at the Cardinal Keeler Center on the first Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. Caleorums will be held in different regions of the diocese through the year. To arrange a Caelorum at your parish or school, please contact us.
Laudatio Calendar of Events
Martin Doman is the Coordinator of Laudatio. Martin has been working as a Catholic musician, liturgical music minister, songwriter and worship leader for the past 15 years. He has released several recordings of Catholic praise and worship, and has led music for the Mount 2000 Youth Retreat and for the Steubenville Youth and Adult Conferences in Attleboro, MA, Denver, CO, Charleston, SC, and on-campus in Steubenville, OH. Martin’s music has also been featured on EWTN’s Life On The Rock and Backstage programs. Laudatio was formed out of a desire that Martin had to bring renewal to the Church through the power of music and the Eucharist. Martin is married and he and his wife Charlene have six children.
“Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own, unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches, whoever remains in me and I in Him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.” John 15:4-5
“The worship of the Eucharist outside of the Mass is of inestimable value for the life of the Church. ... The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: by not only celebrating it but also by praying before it outside of Mass we are enabled to make contact with the very wellspring of grace” - JPII - On the Eucharist and Its Relationship to the Church
“The Church and the world have great need of Eucharistic worship. Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of Love. Let us be generous with our time in going to meet Him in adoration and contemplation that is full of faith ... May our adoration never cease.” - JPII Holy Thursday Letter to Priests, 1980
Thursday, October 29th - 7:00

 This retreat is a large-scale gathering that combines praise & worship music, talks, and adoration to provide powerful “catechesis of the heart” for Confirmandi in our diocese. This full-day annual retreat is offered at three separate locations: twice in the central region of the diocese, and once in the northern region. This is a great option for parish Confirmation programs who would like to provide a large-scale youth rally experience to their teens. This retreat may be offered on site to larger parishes where Laudatio can tailor the program to their specific needs.
