Liturgy Notes returns! The February 2015 Liturgy Notes update is packed with news and features many updates to the Liturgy Handbook on our website.
Music Recommendations
Music recommendations have resumed beginning with Ash Wednesday. The music suggestions page in the Liturgy Handbook has been updated with links to music recommendations for most Sundays of Year B 2015. Most are links to Year B 2012 recommendations three years ago, with a simple listing of songs. They will progressively be updated to the new format launched last year.
The Certificate course began last weekend (21-22 February) with a cohort of eleven students. The next intake for Unit One "Building the Liturgical Assembly" is scheduled for February 2017. Other units are scheduled through 2015 and 2016. The Diocese is offering full and part scholarships to students depending on their circumstances. Please refer to the flyer and the enrolment form.
