Scholarship for the study of liturgy

The Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions (FDLC) grants a scholarship of $1000 each year to a person who is pursuing graduate studies in the area of liturgy with the intent to use the graduate degree in either academia or pastoral ministry. If you are interested in this scholarship, click here. They always are in need of donations to sustain the scholarship fund, so consider giving to this fund as a way to provide for future generations!

The scholarship is named for Sr. Joan Tabat, OSF, a pioneer in pastoral liturgy. This petite woman with a big heart worked tirelessly and enthusiastically to promote an understanding of and appreciation for the liturgy in parishes and dioceses in both Illinois and Florida. Her unbridled enthusiasm always reminded me of the great joy and hope of our faith! Tragically she was killed in a car crash coming home from a workshop that she was presenting for the Diocese of Venice, FL.
