Father Paul Turner will present four identical seminars next month to help parishes prepare for implementation of the revised Missal.
A priest and pastor of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, he holds a doctorate in sacred theology from Sant’ Anselmo in Rome. He is a former president of the North American Academy of Liturgy and a team member for the North American Forum on the Catechumenate. He serves as a facilitator for the International Commission on English in the Liturgy.
All interested Catholics are invited to attend Father Turner’s seminar. Registration is required.
