"NEW MASS TEXTS" WORKSHOP KIT

Letter of Recommendation from Rev. Kenneth Boyack, CSP, Former President, Paulist National Catholic Evangelization Association:

"Congratulations on your new project.  I really like your new parish resource.  Here are some of the reasons:

1.  There is an obvious need for a resource like this.

2.  Your making the resource available to parishes now will help them to plan ahead for the workshops.

3.  You and Fr. Driscoll make a great team, with your ample knowledge and skills complementing one another nicely.

4.  More specificaly, there are a number of elements in the workshop that make it attrctive and effective:

*  The 90 minute format

*  The Familiarity Chart

*  The Listening Groups

*  The Anonymous Index Card Survey

*  The context of opening and closing prayer

*  Your presenttion in the Facilitator's Guide on effective adult education.

Most importantly, I think parishioners attending the workshop will be better prepared to understand and embrace the changes and consequently be better equipped to enter into the Mass with full, conscious, and active participation."
