Preparing
Parish Liturgies: A Guide to Resources
Rita Thiron
The starting point of all liturgical preparation is the
texts of the liturgical rites themselves. The first part of the book
introduces the reader to all the liturgical books, providing background
material for each one, as well as a detailed description of the
contents, down to the paragraph number level, where needed. To
understand the texts of the rites in their proper context requires
knowledge of the “legislative” sections of the liturgical documents, and
so a further chapter introduces the Instructions and Directories that
govern the rites, as well as relevant encyclicals, pastoral letters, and
guidelines.
The second part of the book brings all this information to bear on
working through the actual preparation of liturgical celebrations for
each feast and season of the liturgical year, as well as for all the
sacramental occasions of parish life. An appendix offers thirty-three
pages of useful worksheets and templates for liturgy preparation.
“Steeped in excellent liturgical theology and
rooted in outstanding pastoral praxis and aids, this guide is up to
date, concise, and better than any Cliff Notes on the liturgical
documents. Mrs. Thiron establishes herself as a living encyclopedia of
liturgical details and texts. When planning a liturgy, one can only hope
he or she stands on ‘so firm a foundation!’”
Reverend Bill Wegher, Holy
Redeemer Church, Burton. Michigan.

Liturgy
and Justice
Lucio Caruso
“The Church's deepest nature is expressed in her three-fold
responsibility: of proclaiming the word of God, celebrating the
sacraments, and exercising the ministry of charity. These duties
presuppose each other and are inseparable.” (Deus Caritas
Est—God is Love, Encyclical Letter of Pope Benedict XVI)
This series of four bulletin inserts brings out the connection
between the celebration of the liturgy and working for justice.

The
Mass: Our School of Prayer
Rev. Thomas Iwanowski
“Lord, teach us to pray.” That request made of Jesus by his
first disciples, is still made by his followers today. But if
the celebration of the Eucharist is the “source and summit of
the Church’s life,” as the Constitution on the Liturgy
declared, what may we learn from that celebration about the best
way to pray? These two bulletin inserts show us how.

The Liturgical Year
Thomas Dente
From Sunday,
the primordial feast day, “the flowing stream winding its way
through the soul, week after week, until it has carved out a
canyon of faith in the believer which is deep, complex and
beautiful,” through the annual round of the liturgical year,
which “unpacks for us the mysteries of Christ in a more
readable, digestible form,” Fr. Dente’s reflections will help
parishioners to a fuller and more conscious participation in the
mysteries celebrated. 2005.

Author: FDLC Liturgical Arts and Music
Committee
Download pdf version of Table of Contents
Statistics compiled by the
National Catholic Partnership on
Disability suggest that in any given
parish nearly 20% of parishioners may
suffer from some form of disability. How
can parish leadership ensure that they
feel welcomed and included in the
liturgical assembly and how can their
gifts be used in ministry? This resource
assists parish liturgy teams to explore
all these issues, offering such practical
tools as checklists to assess parish
accessibility and inclusion, information
on low gluten hosts and mustum, and a full
guide to available resources.
