The primary service of the Office for Worship is to assist the diocesan bishop, the chief priest and liturgist of the local Church. With him we work to foster liturgical prayer that nourishes and intensifies the spiritual life of the People of God. The Office for Worship provides parishes with workshops, consultation, resources and guidelines to assist them in providing liturgical services that will be in keeping with the liturgical norms of the Church and enrich the faith life of parishioners. We instructs and assists clergy, Diocesan parishes, schools and institutions with respect to music, sacramental celebrations such as confirmation or infant baptism, devotional practices and liturgical formation. We oversee the implementation of the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) process and the planning of Episcopal liturgies. We help parish leadership with the approval process for liturgical renovation, remodeling or construction of churches and worship spaces.
