Archdiocesan Worship Commission


The Worship Commission seeks to assist each person and community to grow in prayer and holiness, love of God and service to neighbor. The worship Commission assists the Archbishop in his role as chief pastor and liturgist. The commission makes recommendations to the Archbishop regarding pastoral liturgical matters in the Archdiocese.
