Mission Statement of the Liturgy Commission
To facilitate the implementation of the Vatican II documents concerning liturgy for the individual, parish and diocese.

Liturgy is the common public action of worship in ritual, symbol and sign, scripture, sacrament, music, song, art, dance -- meaningful for the gathered faith community. Liturgy encourages the participation of all and leads to involvement of Gospel values in our daily lives. Eucharistic liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed and is the fount/source from which all the Church's power flows.

Goals: (under the direction of the Archbishop)

    1. To be informed about the state of liturgical action in the Archdiocese and to become aware of the liturgical needs of the Archdiocese. 
    2. To facilitate the implementation of directives and sound liturgical practices.
    3. To obtain and make available information concerning studies and programs in liturgy. 
    4. To identify suitable resource persons as well as helpful materials and aids. 
    5. To coordinate major Archdiocesan celebrations in conjunction with the Master of Ceremonies

Water in Baptismal/Holy Water Fonts: The practise of removing water from baptismal/holy water fonts during Lent was popular for a time in many parishes.  This is not supported by Church liturgical legislation and Lent is not the time for us to abstain from sacramental signs.  A baptismal spirituality is a fundamental focus of this season, called to mind in the scriptural and liturgical texts.  A longstanding practise of the Church, however, has been to empty and clean the holy water fonts on days of the Triduum in preparation for the Easter Vigil, which also corre Read More

    Who doesn’t know that in Canada abortion is an allowable ‘medical procedure’?  Very few, I’m guessing. I also guess that the vast majority of Canadians have never considered how this social contagion has found its way into Canadian society.

    This week, I had the opportunity to hang out with some high school students as  we embarked on a  "pilgrimage walk".  We processed through parts of South Regina, with a group of about 70 teenagers, stopping at various points along the way to pray and reflect. We were led by some pretty talented wandering minstrels!
