- Where to now?
At our November gathering of Baptism teams it was suggested that a full morning be given at the Liturgy Seminar to resourcing and supporting existing teams and those hoping to get going. Donal Harrington, Dermot Nestor and the Churchtown Team will lead this workshop. Booking is really necessary as it was agreed that the format would involve working groups in small circles to improve the quality of sharing and listening. Numbers will be restricted as a result – book early to avoid disappointment. - What Has The Family Mass To Offer?
Parishes might like to review their Family Masses in view of the 2018 World Meeting of Families preparations. Joe Mullan and Jackie Hearne from Rathgar Parish and their Team will lead this workshop offering ideas for including elements of Amoris Laetitia into these family friendly Eucharistic assemblies. This will be a full morning gathering and will be conducted in small circle working groups as the Baptism workshop. Early booking is recommended as numbers will be restricted to allow for greater participation and flexibility.
C1. Who Will Speak?
Colm Hogan, Church Outreach Officer and the Team from Trócaire will give an outline of the liturgical resources for this year’s Lenten Campaign which will feature their work in Honduras. This will help parishes make the link between prayer and action for justice during the season of Lent.
C2. Who’s looking at who?
“What was visible in our Saviour has passed over into his mysteries” [St Leo the Great]. Damian McNeice, will, in this workshop, look deeply at key icons of the life of Christ. He will explore how, both in the context of personal prayer and liturgical celebration, they can be a “precious help along the way of our assimilation into Christ” (Archbishop Piero Marini). Packs of fine reproductions of the icons from Mount Athos, the focus of this presentation will be available.Adonation to Football for Refugees on the island of Lesbos, Greece will be
accepted in lieu of payment for these packs.
C3. Is 3 always a crowd?
The answer is no if you believe good things come in threes. Pat O’Donoghue will present a double trinity of ideas for the celebration of the season of Lent. One will cover the three elements of Lent from Matthew 6:1-6. 16-18: Almsgiving.
Praying. Fasting. The second will consider the Gospels of the 3rd, 4th and 5th Sundays of Lent: The Woman at the Well. The Man born blind. The Raising of Lazarus and the accompanying rites of initiation.
C4. How Can I Keep From Singing?
Ciaran Coll, Director of the OLV Gospel Choir and Music and Religion Teacher in St.Mary’s Holy Faith Secondary School, Glasnevin will present a practical workshop using uplifting and soulful Gospel music. This would suit groups starting out to explore this genre of liturgical music or those looking to add to their repertoire.
