Year of Sunday Mass
(July 2012 - July 2013)
The second year will
focus on educating
Catholics on the
critical importance of
Sunday Mass attendance
and encouraging
reflection on the Mass
to foster a deeper
appreciation and
appropriation of the
value of the Eucharist.
This year may include
but is by no means
limited to some of the
following elements:
-
Educating
parishioners
frequently about the
importance of Sunday
Mass through
homilies, bulletin
articles, and other
parish forums
-
Providing seminars
and forums that
invite parishioners
to a better
understanding and
appreciation of the
liturgy
-
Reaching out in the
community to
Catholics who attend
Sunday Mass, but not
on a weekly basis
-
These efforts would
be accompanied by a
raising of
vocational awareness
in and through the
celebration of the
Eucharist.
Additionally, the
linkage between
social justice and
Eucharistic
celebration would be
underscored.
