Worship

The Worship department aims to facilitate our growth in unity as a local Church through our joyful and prayerful liturgical celebrations. In our role as a resource to the Bishop and as collaborators with the parishes and priests of the diocese, we are ready to connect you with information, materials, and formation opportunities to promote that unity.

Weekend Mass Count

Mass attendance should be tracked every Weekend/Holy Day Mass year-round, and submitted to the Diocese on a routine basis. To assist in this process, please see Weekend Mass Count Data Entry Guidelines.

It is recommended that there be a hard copy "paper form" for ushers to use on the weekends to hand count attendance. This Mass Count Form can be referenced when submitting the parish weekend Mass count online.
