Liturgical ongoing formation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When clergy are formed, initially and ongoing, they contribute to forming those they are sent to serve. Did you know that doctors, lawyers, teachers and multiple other professions have standards set by professional organizations or state or federal law -- not only to enter the profession and to be authorized or licensed to practice it, but also to maintain their competence in the respective fields through ongoing formation? Sometimes, the programs are labeled "continuing education" and may invol

Liturgical books -- On the horizon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This will be a major change for parishes, not only because new books will be needed, but also because all bishops, priests, deacons, and readers will have to become familiar with the new books . . . Some months or even years away are five texts. The order in this list is based on the expected date of publication.
