In recent years, the Irish Church has experienced a reduction in the number of priests available to celebrate Mass on weekdays in our parish communities. With no sign that this pattern will change in the foreseeable future, It is Good for Us to Be Here seeks to clearly outline this pastoral challenge facing the Church today; to present the various options that a parish can decide to adopt in praying every day; and to offer a clear rationale for these decisions.
Containing theological and canonical studies which address this pastoral reality, it also provides a training course for the formation of leaders of public prayer in parishes, and liturgical and musical aids to assist communities celebrating on weekdays when the Eucharist is not possible. The Publication is available from Veritas Publications.

Singing the Mystery of Faith was compiled by the National Centre for Liturgy. The discussions of the Advisory Committee on Church Music played an important part in the origins and development of this guidebook. These guidelines will take the reader step by step through each liturgy and will be very useful to musicians who know their musical craft, but seek a clearer understanding of liturgical needs. They will also facilitate a more long-term pastoral strategy regarding music in the liturgy by examining relevant roles and ministries and thus will be a use. The Publication is available from Veritas Publications.
This book brings together a collection of scholarly and pastoral essays on liturgy from twenty leading scholars, both lay and clerical. The essays deal with contemporary issues, many of which are rooted in an Irish pastoral context. With a foreword from Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, this volume includes contributions from such noted academics as Paul F. Bradshaw, Professor of Liturgy at the University of Notre Dame; Patrick Hannon, former Chairman of the Irish Commission for Justice and Peace; and Michael Mullins, former Director of Studies at the Pontifical Irish College in Rome.
Serving Liturgical Renewal is written in honour of Patrick Jones, who recently retired as Director of the National Centre for Liturgy and as Liturgy Secretary to the Irish Episcopal Conference. His contribution to liturgical renewal over the past fifty years has had a huge influence on many people at parish level, on clergy and bishops, as well as on his former students. This encouraging and thought-provoking book is ideal for students of liturgy, as well as academics, clergy and all those who have an interest in liturgical studies.
