Mission of the Liturgy Office

The mission of the Liturgy Office of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas is to assist the pastors and parishes of the Archdiocese in matters pertaining to liturgical preparation, celebration and evaluation, including liturgical ministries, liturgical music, art and environment, and liturgical spirituality.

In addition, the Liturgy Office serves as liturgical consultant to the Archbishop, and assists in the preparation and celebration of major archdiocesan liturgical celebrations, including the Rite of Election, the Mass of Chrism, and ordination liturgies.

Fundamentally, the goal of the Liturgy Office is to deepen the awareness of our identity as a sacramental people, and to encourage the expression of this identity in daily life.

“The sacred liturgy, through which our redemption is accomplished ... is the outstanding means whereby the faithful may express in their lives, and manifest to others, the mystery of Christ and the real nature of his Church” (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Vatican Council II).
