Office of Liturgy

 

  In addition to assisting the Bishop in his ministry as high priest and promoter of the liturgy in the diocese, this office serves as a resource to the parishes and ministers of the diocese as they strive to promote the full, conscious, and active participation of all in the liturgical life of the Church.

Please remember to see our News section below for current information of particular note.

Minutes from the meetings of our Building and Liturgical Commissions are also available here.

The Year of Faith

Check out our new webpage with liturgical resources for the Year of Faith!

Also, the liturgical calendar for 2012-13 is now available.

Fortnight for Freedom

The US Bishops are asking us to observe June 21 (The Feast of SS. John Fisher and Thomas More) through July 4 as the second annual "Fortnight for Freedom." Resources are available on the USCCB website.

Bishop Amos will observe the Fortnight as part of the Grinnell Deanery Year of Faith gathering on June 23.

Parishes may wish to celebrate a Holy Hour for Religious Freedom as part of their observances or use these other resources.

New Policy: Altar Servers

In order to answer questions that have been raised, Bishop Amos has promulgated a new policy for altar servers in the Diocese of Davenport. This new policy, based on the USCCB Guidelines for Servers, covers such topics as the selection and formation of servers, their vesture, and their functions in the liturgy.

Roman Missal Pages on the DoD Website

For the latest information, please visit our two web pages. Our first page is dedicated to information about the Missal and resources for implementation. The second page is a site where we can post questions from parishes, strategies that communities have found helpful, and stories of how the implementation is going.
