The views expressed in the Spirit of the Season are not necessarily those of the Bishops' Conference.

Spirit of the Season is a publication from the Liturgy Office of the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales.

It is for teachers, catechists and all involved with worship with children. It hopes to offer reflection and information in the area of worship. It is intended to publish twice every term.

It is distributed free of charge through diocesan RE centres & liturgy contacts.

Spirit of the Season uses Adobe Acrobat. This allows material to be printed for personal or parish use.

SOS Index
