While doing some research in preparation for our Jan. 28 session, I came across a few items of interest. I’m including the URLs of the websites and a brief comment on each.

1. Link to free online book “The Liturgy Committee Handbook” (1998, by Tom Baker and Frank Ferrone)
Comment: I think, a worthwhile read.
http://www.liturgycommittee.com/

2. Link to article “Parish Liturgical Renewal” (1999, by Ian Rutherford) on catholicliturgy.com.
Comment: I do not agree with all that the author has to say but I think he makes some good points.

Link to America Magazine article: The Ministry of the Parish Liturgy Committee
Comment: A wider perspective on the roles of the liturgy committee. Quite interesting.

Link to Our Lady Queen of Angels Liturgy Committee website
Comment: I found the Liturgy Committee Bulletins interesting as an example of continuing formation for the parish. I liked that the statement of purpose is in a visible place (accountability).

Link to mission statement document (St. Patrick’s Church, East Hampton, CT)
Comment: Ideas for a mission statement for those who don’t have one.
