A Glossary of Liturgical Terms

This unique reference book provides concise definitions for words, names, and titles that practitioners and students of contemporary Roman Catholic liturgy may encounter.

 

Father Dennis Smolarski, SJ, and Monsignor Joseph DeGrocco have expanded and updated the dictionary from Father Smolarski’s classic work Liturgical Literacy: Anamnesis to Worship (Paulist Press, 1990) to provide an invaluable resource for clergy, pastoral ministers, liturgy directors, liturgical musicians, seminarians, students, and others having an interest in or responsibility for the liturgy.
