Little Children and the Sacred Liturgy

If you’re a parent, pastor, director of religious education, or regular pewsitter, chances are that you’ve come across some problematic notions about what the participation of children in the sacred liturgy means or looks like.

In episode 12 of Square Notes: The Sacred Music Podcast, we tackle some of these issues, and propose a more rooted understanding of what authentic participation for children is based on. The guest for the show is the academic director of Notre Dame’s Center for Liturgy, Dr. Timothy P. O’Malley.

Of particular interest to readers might be Tim’s article on this subject from the ND Church Life Journal, “The Liturgy is for (Little) Kids.”
