The Paulist Liturgy Planning Guide: For the Readings of Sundays and Major Feast Days, Year B

The Paulist Liturgy Planning Guide provides a compact, easy-to-use, and comprehensive resource for all ministries involved in Sunday planning. It has information and tips for musicians, lectors, Eucharistic ministers, liturgical planning communities, homilists, celebrants, and bulleting theme writers--ALL IN ONE VOLUME.

Focusing on the Lectionary readings, the PLPG combines sound exegesis, good homily preparation, rich liturgical notes, helpful observations on music, and selected catechetical topics that will provide useful information for liturgical coordinators, planners, and ministers, as well as adult education courses and study groups.

The PLPG covers not only every Sunday of the year, but also the six major holy days of the Catholic Church and the three days of the Holy Week Triduum, in order to make celebrations of those days a richer experience for congregations.

The entries have been written by a group of highly distinguished experts:
