Liturgy Music Art and Architecture FAQs Carlos Rodriguez


The primary body that oversees the guidelines  as well as the practice of liturgy as it occurs in our diocese is the liturgical commission. Who comprises the commission? What are the essentials of its work?

As executive secretary, Msgr. John C.Tosi oversees the work of the commission which he share with its other members. Along with maintaining and interpreting diocesan guidelines related to liturgy, the commission also publishes a quarterly newsletter, sponsors special events, and keeps folders on a variety of liturgy leaders (i.e. musicians, readers, etc.)

The goal of the commission's work is to promote the understanding and practice of authentic Christian worship of God. If you have specific questions or concerns related to liturgy that still linger after exploring our section of the Web site, please be in touch.
