Mission
The diocesan Office of Worship provides liturgical resources for pastors and
parishes, aiding them to implement the vision of the Church's Constitution on
the Sacred Liturgy regarding "full, conscious and active participation" in
the public prayer of the Church.
The Office of Worship accomplishes its mission through:
 | Providing consultative service to pastors and other parish leaders
regarding liturgical issues |
| Sponsoring various periodic workshops on liturgical formation for clergy
and laity |
| Advising the bishop regarding liturgical matters, in collaboration with
the diocesan Liturgy, Art and Music Board |
| Collaborating with other diocesan departments, especially within the
Secretariat of Christian Formation and with the Office of Evangelization,
regarding resourcing and training, with special emphasis on the Holy Eucharist
and on Christian Initiation |
| Assisting the bishop and presbyterate with the planning and execution of
special ceremonies, such as ordinations and church dedications

director of the Office of Worship. In particular, the LAMB reviews and offers
