Diocesan Liturgical Commission September 2007
The newly-appointed Diocesan Liturgical Commission is composed of laity and clergy who represent the wide pastoral, cultural and geographical diversity of the Diocese, and who have expertise in liturgy, music, art and/or pastoral practice.
It seeks to promote and foster the liturgical life of the
Roman Catholic Church in the Diocese of Richmond. The
Commission enjoys a collaborative and consultative relationship
with the Office of Worship, providing input, evaluation and
recommendations in fulfilling its mission to serve the Bishop,
pastoral leaders, and all the faith communities of the Diocese
of Richmond.
