Group Membership
Do you belong to a parish or college/school group? You can now take out Group Membership of the Society of Saint Gregory at special rates.
Then you can distribute the copies between your priest(s), MC, readers, musicians – each of whom can benefit from reading the articles and having time to reflect on them and re-read them without the hassle of having to pass on the copy to someone else.
And each will benefit from consulting the parts of the ‘Preparing the Liturgy’ section that are important for their particular liturgical ministry:
- priests can consider the options available in the Missal for the season or Sunday
- readers can read the commentary on their readings to help them to proclaim them
- those preparing the intercessions (Prayer of the Faithful) can consider the suggestions provided
- musicians responsible for the choice of liturgical music can consult the listings of appropriate hymns, songs and settings of liturgical texts
Group membership includes entitlement to one place at Summer School at the reduced rate for members. It entitles the named contact to vote at the Society’s Annual General Meeting.
All copies of the journal will be sent to one UK address.
