Ahead of revisions to the Catholic liturgy, the Thomas More College of Liberal Arts will host a Boston dinner and symposium where several leading Catholic thinkers will speak on the topic: “The Language of Liturgy: Does It Matter?”
“The symposium will be of interest to anyone eager to understand better the broad impact of liturgy on culture,” Thomas More College president William Fahey said. “The speakers will offer unique insights into the importance of linguistic precision in liturgical matters, the changes and developments of the new Missal, and the place of liturgy in evangelization.”
The symposium will take place ahead of the college’s President’s Council Dinner at the Harvard Club in Boston, Mass. The symposium begins at 1 p.m., followed by Mass at 4 p.m., a 5 p.m. reception, and a 6 p.m. dinner.
The dinner will feature Fr. Benedict Groeschel, a retreat master, author, psychologist and host of the Eternal Word Television Network program “Sunday Night Prime with Father Benedict Groeschel.” He serves as the director of the Archdiocese of New York’s Office for Spiritual Development and is one of the founders of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.
