On Site Parish Evaluation Process for Liturgical Celebrations
Members of the ODW staff are available for consultation on various
aspects of liturgy in parishes or institutions.  ODW has developed a
process for assisting parishes in evaluating their parish liturgy,
particularly the celebration of Sunday Eucharist.


The process has three major components: an opportunity for staff
and parish leadership to discuss their issues and concerns regarding
the liturgy in their parish; a weekend of observation of the liturgy; and
a follow-up gathering to set goals and priorities for improving the
quality of prayer and worship in the parish.  A team of two people will
work with each parish and the process can be designed so as to
respond to the unique needs of each community.  For further information,
please call Gloria Dallmeier at 773.486-5153 or E-Mail: gdallmeier@odw.org.

Note: Complete information about all the preceding programs can
be found under the appropriate department under the general heading
Programs.  Simply click on the Program button on the Home Page and then click on the particular department and this button will take you to the program you are interested in.
