Diocese focuses on changes in Mass
JACKSON – The Diocesan Continuing Formation Committee will sponsor a two-day workshop Sept. 29-30, at the St. Dominic Centre. It will be the first in a series of events and resources for parishes on the new English translation of the Mass.
The September workshop will include two components. 
The first, entitled “Liturgical Leadership in a Time of Change,” will feature a keynote talk by Bishop Gerald Kicanas of Tucson. He is vice president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
This workshop begins with registration at 2 p.m. on Wednesday. And although the official release date has not yet been set, a tentative diocesan implementation schedule will also be introduced.
Bishop Kicanas will speak at 4 p.m. about the preparation for the upcoming release of the new translation of the Mass. After his talk, participants will have time for questions and answers with him.
Evening Prayer for the Feast of the Archangels will follow and then dinner. After dinner, participants will have time to learn more about the diocesan plans and resources for implementation and offer feedback. The evening will conclude with Night Prayer.
The second part of the two day workshop, “Mission and Ministry in Mississippi – Facing the Future,” will begin with Morning Prayer of St. Jerome at 8:45 a.m., on Thursday. The diocesan Mission and Ministry Team will present realities facing the Diocese of Jackson in terms of parish ministry and vocations. The workshop will conclude at 12:30 p.m.
The workshop is designed for pastors, associates, lay ecclesial ministers, pastoral ministers and other parish ministers designated by the pastor or lay ecclesial minister.
Cost of the two-day workshop is $50. A brochure with registration form, housing information and schedule has been mailed to parishes and missions. It is also available on the diocesan website at http://www.jacksondiocese.org/worship-liturgy.php
The St. Dominic Centre is located at 3800 I-55 N Frontage Road.
