The Frederick R. McManus Award


Ø     Recipients

Ø    About Msgr. Frederick R. McManus
 

 

The delegates to the 1994 National Meeting of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions in Saint Louis were responsible for the establishment of a national award of recognition through the following Position Statement:

It is the position of the delegates to the 1994 National Meeting of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions that the Executive Committee of the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions establish a means of recognizing significant contributions to furthering liturgical renewal in the United States. Be it further resolved that the Chair of the FDLC Board annually appoint an ad hoc committee to determine a suitable candidate to receive this FDLC recognition. Such recipients shall have made a significant contribution to the liturgical renewal in the United States.

Consequently at its annual meeting in January, 1995, the Board of Directors voted to establish the Monsignor Frederick R. McManus Award to honor an individual who or organization which has made a significant contribution to pastoral liturgy on the national level.
