Liturgical Formation 

Induction, RE and Formation
Target Audience:  All Staff

Overview
In his Apostolic Letter, Desiderio Desideravi, Pope Francis on the Liturgical Formation of the People of God believes that “everyone is invited to the supper of the wedding of the Lamb (Rev.19:9). To be admitted to the feast all that is required is the wedding garment of faith which comes from the hearing of his Word (cf. Ro.10:17).

This garment of faith will lead us to encounter Jesus. In the Eucharist and in all the sacraments we are guaranteed the possibility of encountering the Lord. His every word, his every gesture, glance, and feeling reaches us through the celebration of the sacraments.

Every aspect of the celebration must ge carefully tended to (space, time, gestures, words, objects, vestments, song, music…) and every rubric must be observed.

For all the baptised, liturgical formation must accompany everyone, being formed for the mystery of God is not a question of something grasped mentally but a relationship that touches all of life.” 
.

Aims
The workshop explores the Catholic understanding of liturgy and prayer, allowing staff to explore:
  • consider the particular nature of liturgical prayer and personal prayer within the Catholic tradition;
  • explore the meaning of the key liturgical principles;
  • deepen their appreciation of what the Church is doing when it gathers for liturgy;
  • reflect on and discuss their experience of liturgy in their school  community;
  • reflect on their personal prayer life and their own participation in liturgy.

Highly recommended for new career teachers and RECs
