| About
This Site By Tom Baker and Frank Ferrone
This site exists so people can find our book, The Liturgy
Committee Handbook, published in 1998 by Twenty-Third Publications
and now available for free download on this
site. It's one of the few books
on the market intended for parish liturgy committees at every stage of their
organization's life. So whether your group is just getting started or ready for new
challenges, whether you have a great group or suffer from conflict and boredom, we try
hard to be of practical assistance.

Downloading Our Book
All the chapters of our book are available at no charge below as PDF files, so of course
you will need the
Adobe Acrobat Reader to read or print them.
We do wish to point out that one or two of the books we refer to in
Appendix A, A Basic Liturgy Bookshelf, may have gone out of
print. In addition, our references to various editions of the church's liturgy
documents may also be out of date, since new documents have been issued
since our original publication in 1998.
Restrictions: You may redistribute these files or print as many copies of
these chapters as you would like. All we request (since we are still the
copyright holders of this material) is that you give us credit as the
authors and provide our URL (www.liturgycommittee.com). You
may not sell or republish these documents or use them for any commercial purpose.
