About ML:
  • Ministry & Liturgy is a magazine in its 32nd year of service. For 25 years it was known as Modern Liturgy (ML), and although the name has changed it continues to carry the ML nickname.
  • Ministry & Liturgy is a primary resource for liturgists and pastoral ministers. It is a professional magazine for members of the parish ministry team. It is dedicated to exploring the connection between liturgy and life, unpacking the treasures of the Roman liturgy, and helping ministers use the visual, musical, lively, poetic, and environmental arts to shape liturgies to their local culture.
