WORSHIP

Office of Worship

The Office of Worship seeks to be a resource for parishes and ministers in the planning of liturgical celebrations and ceremonies.

It is the responsibility of this office to oversee the liturgical norms and policies of the diocese. In addition, it assists parishes with the formation of its members in various ministries such as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, lectors and music, as well as providing information in other areas of liturgy. This office regards its service to the liturgy as a privilege and challenge that requires both prayer and continual formation, recognizing that liturgy is first and foremost the prayer of Christ.

The Office of Worship includes the Catechumenate (RCIA) and assists those who wish to be in full communion with the Church, as well as those who minister to them.

Worship Resources

In 2023, a new Order of Penance will be published with changes to the formula of absolution. More resources for clergy and all who celebrate this beautiful sacrament will be posted here.

The RCIA will soon become the OCIA. Opportuniites for formation and how to implement this in your parish will be coming soon!
