Buffalo Diocesan Liturgical Commission
Mission and Purpose
Under the commission of the Bishop, the Buffalo Diocesan Liturgical
Commission (BDLC) exists to wisely apply within our diocese knowledge
gained through scholarly study of liturgical theology and praxis in
order to promote a fuller, deeper, richer participation in the liturgy
for all the faithful. As an advisory body to our Bishop, the BDLC
assists in guiding the liturgical life in our parishes and Catholic
institutions.
The commission is led by a core group of liturgical scholars and is
assisted in its work by consultants with knowledge and expertise in
liturgical theology and praxis. The BDLC collaborates with the Diocesan
Office of Divine Worship in providing workshops, programs and
consultation to promote the liturgical life in our diocese. At the
present time the Commission, working with the Office of Worship, is
primarily devoted to the study of the Third Edition of the Roman Missal
and its reception and implementation in our diocese.
The commission may be contacted through the Diocesan Office of Worship at (716) 847-5545.
