This section offers material for dioceses and others to help plan formation for the General Instruction and Celebrating the Mass.

There are two areas: materials for planning and presenting sessions, and resources for addressing some of the issues raised by the General Instruction.

This information will be available only in the section of the website reserved for diocesan liturgy contacts.

PowerPoint
Two sets of material are provided: ready-made PowerPoint presentations and a selection of Slide masters for use by those preparing presentations.
  • All presentations require Microsoft PowerPoint to run. Two fonts have been used in these presentations: Georgia & Trebuchet MS. These fonts are supplied by Microsoft and come free with most Microsoft products including PowerPoint, Office and Internet Explorer. If you wish to change the font settings change the Master Slide under the View Menu.
  • Leader’s notes are provided for the slides but these are visible only if you choose the option of downloading the file to your computer.
  • Some of the files are large (1 MB)
