A well-kept secret

One of the best-kept liturgical secrets, in my mind, is the website of the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions (FDLC). They have a number of excellent liturgical publications and co-sponsor an annual meeting each year with the US Bishops' Committee on Divine Worship (BCDW).

Perhaps the word "Diocesan" in the title keeps many parish ministers and priests away, but nearly all of their materials are designed for parish liturgical leaders and the person in the pew. Their section on Liturgical Catechesis is quite extensive and includes everything from liturgy planning to liturgical vocabulary. The home page always contains an article on liturgical catechesis which changes periodically. A catalogue of their fine and varied liturgical publications, including bulletin inserts, is available for download.

When you have some free time check out the FDLC. You'll be glad that you did!
