Liturgical Institute Summer Program 2006

Summer courses 2006, Session 1, June to June 30:

Matrimony and Orders, Rev. C. Eugene Morris, Session I, 3 credits, M-F, 10:45-12:30

The rites of matrimony and holy orders are examined from structural, theological, and historical perspectives. The complementary offices and duties (munera) within the Church are distinguished and described. The pastoral ministry of the ordained is seen in its ecclesiological context and purpose, with attention given to a proper understanding of hierarchy. Special attention is given to the sacramentality of marriage, a theology of sexuality, and the relationship between marriage and celibacy.

Liturgical Preparation and Training, Mr. Chris Carstens, Session I, 2 credits, M-W, 8:25-10:30

Practical and theological questions regarding the collaboration of the non-ordained faithful in the priests’ sacred ministry are discussed and examined. Students will study the liturgical and para-liturgical rites at which laity may preside, and the procedures and preparation required for these celebrations. Also treated are the practical matters of organizing and overseeing the liturgical life of a diocese, parish, community, or other Catholic institution, including the training and oversight of lay liturgical ministry and the organization and operation of an office of worship.
