Tomorrow morning I leave for the National Meeting of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions. Established by the U.S. Bishops after the Second Vatican Council, the FDLC (Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions) has offered expertise and practical experience in the celebration of the liturgy. It comes together each year to study and to discuss position statements which are voted on during the meeting.
This year the theme is multi-cultural liturgy. As we look around our diocese we see parishioners coming from an increasingly diverse set of cultures. We have Asians, Africans, Hispanics and many others. How does this shape the liturgical life of our communities? It will be interesting to hear the presentations and to reflect with liturgical leaders from across the country and learn from their experience of liturgy celebrated with many cultures.
