Worship
The Catholic Church’s liturgy, especially the Eucharist (Mass), is the source of our Christian life and the goal to which all our activities lead us. The liturgy touches every aspect of the parish—its catechetical work, its sense of community, its service to the poor, and its personal prayer life. Good celebrations strengthen our faith. Poor celebrations may weaken it.
You’ll find resources here that will help you learn about the liturgy, participate in it more actively, prepare good liturgy well, and show you how liturgy celebrated fully not only praises God and blesses God’s people, but also catechizes, evangelizes, and changes the world.
