ADULT FAITH DEVELOPMENT: What does it mean for me to be a Catholic in this world today? Developing a Liturgical Spirituality. Presenter: Prof. Susan Roll. When we truly celebrate the liturgy, the liturgy itself draws us into a dynamic and powerful shared spirituality that shapes who we are as catholics in the world today. Our session will examine first the structure and design of the Sunday eucharist and how the parts fit together.
