SAN JOSE, Calif., February 19, 2002 — Have you ever wondered how to deepen your community’s understanding of the paschal season?  The latest book from Resource Publications, Inc. is a guide that will help any Catholic get more out of the Paschal season.

What Every Catholic Needs to Know About Lent, Triduum and Easter is a resource guide for every parish seeking to explain the mysteries of the paschal season to the entire congregation.  It walks the average Catholic through the history of the season, its various rituals, their role in the liturgy, and provides prayers and activities they can do with their own families at home.  “It’s written for the people in the pews so that they would have a better understanding of the liturgy, the history of the liturgy and an appreciation for their role, as part of the assembly, in the liturgy,” remarked the author, Kevin McGloin.

This book has been designed with the average Catholic in mind and it is a foundation for anyone looking to gain a basic understanding of Lent, Triduum and Easter.  It offers a concise examination of the paschal experience and in clear terms explains the most imperative aspects of this time of year, from how it developed into today’s celebration, to definitions of commonly used paschal words and phrases.  This book is a great resource for liturgy committees, RCIA groups, adult study groups and the entire parish because it gives readers a basic understanding of the season's rituals, traditions and history regardless of their level of experience within the church.

Kevin McGloin is currently the director of liturgy and middle-school coordinator at St. Patrick Parish in Scottsdale, Arizona.  He received his undergraduate degree in broadcasting from Arizona State University and master’s degrees in divinity from St. John's Seminary and in professional counseling from Ottawa University in Phoenix.  He is also author of the book, What Every Catholic Needs to Know about the Mass.
