Our Mission
The Liturgical Commission works with other diocesan offices in preparing for the various diocesan liturgical celebrations throughout the year; the Rite of Election, the Chrism Mass, prayer and liturgies for Pastoral Days and the Priests' Institute. We also provide workshops on parish and regional levels, as requested. Consultations are also provided for any parishes planning to build or renovate churches or worship spaces.
