Welcome to Catholic Liturgy Week!

Guys! It's the moment we've all be waiting for: Catholic Liturgy Week starts today! Megan and I are so, so excited to connect with you all and read your fabulous posts! 

Quick reminder on the pertinent rules:

1. Catholic Liturgy Week runs from July 19 to July 25, 2020.

2. This is a celebration of Catholic liturgy (and, by extension, Catholic culture) in all its beautiful variety! Want to write about your favorite sacrament? Tell us what makes your particular rite special? Give us a list of books or movies that portray the priesthood well? As long as it reverently touches on Catholic liturgy, it's fair game! There's no limit to the number of posts you can contribute...

3. I've put together a (very long!) tag, which is posted below!

4. We're all brothers and sisters here, so please don't feel like you have to defend any of your traditions to anyone. Just enjoy sharing the huge amount of variety in our Faith with the world and each other!

5. Once you've written your post, please come back to this post and drop the URL in the comments so we can have a complete list of all the posts from this blog festival!

And, now on to the exciting part: the tag! It's divided into four sections: Personal/Family, Parish, Diocese, and Rite. Feel free to answer all, some or only one of the sections--I know it's a long tag!
