High specialization post-graduate course 2020/2021
The Pontifical Liturgical Institute has instituted a training course that shows architects, designers and workers that "the fine arts, especially religious art and its summit, sacred art by its very nature have a relationship with the infinite divine beauty that must somehow be expressed by the works of man" (SC 122).
The course offers an introduction to liturgical themes that will guide participants to an exact understanding of the theological foundation from which the coordinates of architecture and sacred art flow, with special attention to the biblical, ecclesiological and sacramental dimensions.
The specialization is biennial (70 ECTS = 25 ECTS for each year + 20 ECTS for the final thesis). The two years are not propaedeutic. Each academic hour is 45 minutes.

Making a good translation of liturgical texts requires an extensive knowledge as well as certain art. It is a long, complicated and above all delicate process that can influence the life of the Church. In fact, the problem of language and translations of the liturgical texts, from a theological and pastoral point of view, is one of the most challenging issues. That is why the Pontifical Liturgical Institute decided, in collaboration with the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, to establish a specialized course in liturgical translations. The course is designed to be both theoretical and practical, an approach which can develop, unite and support the above-mentioned perspectives, always bearing in mind that the final goal is the “Church in prayer”, a significant moment during which the work of our redemption is carried out.
To whom is the course addressed?
To those who are responsible for different liturgical areas in dioceses, orders and congregations, or in national episcopal conferences, but above all to those entrusted with preparation of the translations of liturgical books in the current languages. Course objectives
We intend to provide the tools to achieve an adequate level of competence in some of the fundamental subjects, such as the linguistic field, therefore special attention will be given to Latin liturgy, history, theology and other formal topics, in order to facilitate the transition from editio typica to translations officially approved for liturgical use. The structure of the course
The course is divided into two independent parts. The first one will take three (3) weeks, will be taught entirely online and is intended to be a preparatory part presenting topics of the Latin language and various problems concerning translations of liturgical texts. The second part will take four (4) weeks and will include classroom lectures, a visit to the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, and guided tours of the city of Rome. Costs
The total price for those enrolled is € 2.600,00 (course + lodging). For those who would like to stay elsewhere, the cost is € 1.564,00.
Program
The Pontifical Institute of Liturgy proposes an in-depth course in Liturgical Pastoral Care, with the aim of perfecting the formation of all those involved in the liturgy, from presidency to animation, and supporting them in facing the challengesto which the contemporary Church is called to respond. Indeed, the Council teaches that the liturgy is the culmination and source of Christian life, but it is noted that it is often assimilated to other pastoral activities and does not manifest its characteristic nature as the center of the path of the ecclesial community and as the fulcrum of spiritual life and action of evangelization. Furthermore, postmodern contemporary culture, by its nature didactic and accustomed to the sensational, has distorted the words, signs and gestures of the celebratory experience, risking the suffocation of the Mystery.
The training course proposes an itinerary that helps the participants, through lessons, dialogue with teachers and personal study, to confront and reflect on the themes proposed, to elaborate a new ecclesial pointof view on liturgical pastoral care. The course is held live online (recordings will also be made available) and at the end of each lesson there is usually a short discussion with the teacher.
Duration
16 lessons of 3 hours, every Tuesday from 2:30 to 4:45 p.m. Mode
The on-line lessons can be followed live or by downloading the recording. Purpose of the course

Those wishing to take the exam in order to obtain the ECTS, must deliver a written work of about 15 pages on one of the lessons of the course, attaching it by email to the registrar, addressed to the course coordinator.
The theme does not have to be approved by the teachers, but can be chosen directly by the student.
The work must not be a summary of what the teacher has taught, but, in light of the existing bibliography, must show the ability to reflect on the topic and to present one's own motivating point of view. In addition, it must offer some pastoral lines in view of or in light of one's ministry (baptismal or diaconal or presbyteral, or in the context of consecrated life).
The work must be received by 15 July 2021. After this date it will be considered as delivered in the next exam session.
