Welcome to the Worship Office!

The purpose of the Secretariat for Worship and Liturgical Formation is to serve as a central location through which the liturgical needs of the Diocese can be addressed. The office devotes its efforts to offering liturgical, theological, pastoral, canonical and historical guidance in the celebration of the Church's liturgical rites.

The Worship Office primarily serves pastors, parish musicians and staff persons, parish worship commissions, and parish members by providing consultation and resources in the areas of liturgy, RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults), environment and art, music, and the sacraments. The Office also prepares for all Diocesan celebrations and liturgies in which the Bishop is celebrant or in attendance.

To assist you in furthering your liturgical formation, please feel free to use this website to locate valuable information concerning liturgical issues.

The Roman Missal, Third Edition

The Roman Missal is the ritual text containing prayers and instructions for the celebration of the Mass. The Roman Missal, Third Edition, has now been approved by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, and the text of the Roman Missal has been completed by Vatican officials. The revised text will be implemented on the first Sunday of Advent this year, November 27, 2011.

To learn more about the revised translation of the Roman Missal, please utilize the Roman Missal Third Edition link above. Any questions may be directed to Reverend Duane Wachowiak, Director, Secretariat for Worship & Liturgical Formation by calling 989.732.5147.
