The Liturgy Club was established as an arm of the National Federation of Catholic College Students of the New York-New Jersey Region. The purpose of the club is to foster the study and appreciation of the liturgy, and to encourage an active and intelligent participation therein. To this end the club sponsors a liturgical bulletin board, seasonal practices that carry the spirit of the liturgy into the home and the school, and an active participation in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass through the Missa Recitata. During the current year the club has undertaken as its special projecta study of the Holy Bible, not only to under- stand better its structure, and the main theme of its several parts, but as the important source of liturgical prayer.
