Training for Parish Liturgy Groups

A four night training program (8 hours) is available for all forming (and re-newing) parish liturgy groups.

Training is planned in advance according to the specific needs of the group. It usually covers a basic introduction to liturgy, Scripture and Eucharist, liturgical planning, liturgical resources and the liturgical year. It also involves participants in planning simple liturgies each evening so as to develop confidence and teamwork.

This training is of maximum benefit when delivered locally to a group of parishes. (e.g. in a Pastoral Area). Contact Noirin at the Pastoral Centre (061 400133) to discuss this further.
