The Second Vatican Council envisioned a Church whose people could understand and participate fully in the liturgy. Is that happening in the Masses in your parish? Do we know what we are doing when we celebrate the Eucharist? In this book and its companion, Forming the Assembly to Celebrate Sacraments, Lawrence Mick, an experienced presider and thoughtful writer on the liturgy, has given us a tool for catechizing our communities.

This concise, lively book will answer questions that parish councils, liturgy boards, liturgical ministers, adult formation groups and individuals in the assembly have about what the official rites call for and how we can celebrate them well. But beyond imparting information, it provides an opportunity for group reflection and discussion–primary activities in adult formation. This book will enable your parishioners to integrate new learning with faith insights and thus become more aware and discerning participants in the Mass.
