#092: The RCIA Journey and Music Ministry (with Fr. Paul Turner)
This week is our first podcast episode during the Lenten season. We are walking our Lenten journey, and we are helping others alongside as well. From music to prayer services, to Triduum preparations and everything in between, we are truly engrossed and living this Lenten season.
Amidst all of our work, how much time have we committed to walking alongside the RCIA candidates in our parishes? That is the topic of our conversation today.
#054: Sharing the Triduum (with Fr. Paul Turner) - REPLAY
Fr. Paul Turner
This is a special rebroadcast of our episode from March, 2018.
Our topic today is “looking forward.” While the new liturgical year is many months away, the new fiscal year is not. Across the country, dioceses have been studying and making preparations for new administrative and organizational realities, including clustered parishes.
Our guest today, Fr. Paul Turner, shares liturgical considerations and opportunities that are present in clustered communities. We also hear the words of the late Bishop Ken Untener (1937-2004), written in honor of Archbishop Oscar Romero.
