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.

Celebrating 250

As part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. bishops consecrated the United States of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  As we approach the Fourth of July, here are some resources for families and parishes:

Other resources include:

• America 250 Video Series from Catholic Current
• 250 Hours of Adoration (which includes Holy Hours for Life, Holy Hours for Peace, Holy Hours for Life, Marriage, and Religious Liberty, Holy Hours for Vocations, Holy Hours against Racism, and Holy Hours for the Sacred Heart)
• 250 Works of Mercy with many good ideas.
