Important Deanery Meeting

When: Monday, November 15th
Time: 1:00 -3:00 p.m. (Lunch will be provided.)
Place: St. Joseph's Church in Cupertino

We will focus on the presentation of the Renew The Liturgy Initiative. Next March, we will be celebrating the Thirtieth Anniversary of the Diocese of San Jose and in November, 2011 we will begin using the newly revised Roman Missal. These occasions give us a special opportunity to begin a renewal of the liturgy in all of the parishes, missions, religious houses, schools and institutions of the Diocese.

The agenda for this meeting will include:

• The New Roman Missal – Diana Macalintal
• Liturgical Renewal in the Diocese - Fr. Brendan McGuire
• Facilitated Sessions to dream about the future of our liturgy

This Renew the Liturgy Initiative is one of the largest undertakings of our Diocese since the Pastoral Plan. The Bishop sees this as a major initiative through which we continue to implement the Pastoral Plan and the Bishop has requested that this meeting be mandatory for all clergy in the deanery. All parish liturgists, musicians, catechists and parish leaders – paid staff as well as non-paid leaders – are invited to attend this meeting.
