BOOK
Preparing
Parish Liturgies: A Guide to Resources
Rita Thiron
The starting point of all liturgical preparation is
the texts of the liturgical rites themselves. The first part of
the book introduces the reader to all the liturgical books,
providing background material for each one, as well as a detailed
description of the contents, down to the paragraph number level,
where needed. To understand the texts of the rites in their proper
context requires knowledge of the “legislative” sections of the
liturgical documents, and so a further chapter introduces the
Instructions and Directories that govern the rites, as well as
relevant encyclicals, pastoral letters, and guidelines.
The second part of the book brings all this information to bear on
working through the actual preparation of liturgical celebrations
for each feast and season of the liturgical year, as well as for
all the sacramental occasions of parish life. An appendix offers
thirty-three pages of useful worksheets and templates for liturgy
preparation.
“Steeped in excellent liturgical theology
and rooted in outstanding pastoral praxis and aids, this guide is
up to date, concise, and better than any Cliff Notes on the
liturgical documents. Mrs. Thiron establishes herself as a living
encyclopedia of liturgical details and texts. When planning a
liturgy, one can only hope he or she stands on ‘so firm a
foundation!’”

Statistics
compiled by the National Catholic Partnership on Disability
suggest that in any given parish nearly 20% of parishioners may
suffer from some form of disability. How can parish leadership
ensure that they feel welcomed and included in the liturgical
assembly and how can their gifts be used in ministry? This
resource assists parish liturgy teams to explore all these issues,
offering such practical tools as checklists to assess parish
accessibility and inclusion, information on low gluten hosts and
mustum, and a full guide to available resources.
