Teaching the Roman Missal Changes – How’s it Going So Far?

Joe Paprocki Liturgy and Sacraments

Now that many catechetical programs are under way for the Fall of 2011, I thought it would be good to check back in and see where you are all at with teaching the Roman Missal changes to children and adults?

What have you done so far? What is your plan moving forward?

If you’re still looking for an approach to teaching the Roman Missal changes to children, be sure to take a look at my suggestion: Teaching the Roman Missal Changes to Children – Easy as 1, 2, 3!

I’m also happy to announce that my book (co-authored with Fr. Dom Grassi), Living the Mass: How One Hour a Week Can Change Your Life, is now available in its revised form, reflecting the Roman Missal changes.

While the book itself is not about the changes per se, it provides you with a great opportunity to teach about the changes within the context of teaching about the Mass as a whole.

A More Robust Liturgy – More Discussion

Joe Paprocki Liturgy and Sacraments

Last week, I posted a link to my recently published article, 7 Steps to a More Robust Liturgy, in Ministry and Liturgy Magazine. I received an excellent response from Jeffrey Pinyan, author of Praying the Mass. The reason I consider it excellent is not because he agrees with everything I said (in fact, he disagrees with me on a variety of points) but because he furthers the discussion, contributes to it with well-thought-out ideas, and […]
