Course Goal

The course is aimed to all those who wish to know more about the Liturgy of the Catholic Church, in particular those who are involved in Liturgical Commissions.

Course Information Need: Throughout its history, the Catholic Church in Malta has formed and sustained the formation of new Catholic communities. Eager to continue to celebrate the presence of the Risen Christ and aware of the everchanging face of the Catholic Community in Malta, there is a need to form the laity to: • feel and believe in the urgency and importance to understand better and live more deeply the liturgy of the Church; • be filled with a sense of respect and urgency to plan towards and share liturgical moments and their meaning with others; • sustain the local Church by reminding it of its primary mission and spread enthusiasm in and through the Liturgy at all levels of the local Catholic Community.

Language of Instruction: Maltese

For this reason there is need for a formation course which instils in participants the knowledge and the attitudes that are essential for celebrating and sustaining the faith and life of the local Church through the Liturgy.
