Matczak, Bartłomiej (Wyższe Seminarium Duchowne Diecezji Siedleckiej im. Jana Pawła II, 2017)
New evangelisation has recently become a great challenge in the life of the Church. This pheno-menon has led to the creation of new spaces and contexts in which the Gospel is now proclaimed. Among them are stadia, gymnasia, assembly halls, and other similar venues. In following this path, the place of the liturgy and its organization in such spaces also needs to be discussed. Of course canon law allows celebration outside a place of worship, but at the same time makes it clear that it is necessary to take great care to maintain the sacrum. The author analyses Church documents which indicate the need for correct and appropriate preparation of celebration sites elsewhere than on consecrated premises. In this context the documents Actio pastoralis, Redemptionis sacramentum, and Eucharisticum mysterium, as well as the introductions to liturgical books, are becoming important.
