the commissioning of catechists, and annual
opening meeting of a parish council, and parish concerns are included:
jubilees and anniversaries, charismatic prayer group,
reverence for life, high school commencement, etc.
"Fr. Liptak is experienced in pastoral and liturgical work,

and is a writer of lengthy experience.
Therefore, to all interested in the art of developing homilies
I warmly commend this new, wecome book of his."
