Liturgical Studies Summer Program in Regina

Home > News & Events Archive

A new Summer School in Liturgical Studies, designed for all who prepare, lead, evaluate, participate in, and appreciate the liturgical life of the parish, will begin in the summer of 2010 in Regina.

Liturgical ministers, liturgy committee members, musicians, catechists, priests, deacons, and seminarians are invited to participate.

This revised program has been developed to fill the need created by the closure of the Summer School in Liturgical Studies program at Newman Theological College in 2008. A Liturgical Studies program for Western Canada is especially urgent as the work of implementing the revised Roman Missal approaches.

Key features of this program include:

The support of the Western Conference for Liturgy, the Bishops of Western Canada, and the National Liturgy Office.
A movable venue: it will move to a different major Western centre each summer, allowing local people easier access.
2-week time frame and week-long courses: the program will be offered during the last 2 weeks of July.
A Certificate in Liturgical Studies will be awarded upon completion of 12 courses (5 core and 7 elective). Participants can complete the certificate requirements in 3 summers.
Aim of the program: education and practical formation in all areas of liturgy.

This year’s Summer School in Liturgical Studies will take place July 19-30.
