Q: Yet another question concerning the liturgy. Actually, this question isn’t about the liturgy so much as a question about resources. A very good friend of mine has been appointed the head of her parish Liturgy Committee and chief sacristan (only sacristan). She is a lay person and has had no training in liturgy at all. She is a lifelong Catholic, but that’s not quite the same.
Can you recommend a good resource for her which will answer basic questions about preparing for the different Masses and liturgies during the course of the year? I am sure you have a book or two that she would find useful. In fact, I’m sure we all would.
Thank you for all of your help over the last year, and I hope that you have had a blessed Christmas and that you will have a peaceful and healthy new year.

A: There are many resources, but I recommend the series I co-authored for Liturgy Training Publications. Here’s a page from my website – https://paulturner.org/book-contributions/. Look for the titles that begin “Guide for…” such as Liturgy Committees, Sacristans, and Celebrating Mass.
Thanks for asking.
