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.

Lenten resources

Holy Hour resources

Bishop William Joensen encourages us to participate in a Holy Hour at church or at home. We ask the Holy Spirit to lead us as we emerge from the pandemic.

Eucharist

When we cannot receive the Eucharist, we can say the Prayer for Spiritual Communion. Here is the prayer in English and Spanish.
