Mission of the
Sacred Worship Office
The Office of
Sacred Worship of the Diocese of La Crosse serves the diocesan
bishop and, in his name, the entire diocesan church, both
ordained and lay. Although the primary collaborators of
the diocesan bishop in the liturgical apostolate are his
priests and deacons, the Office of Sacred Worship assists them
by seeking to deepen the faithful’s understanding of the
meaning of the rites being celebrated, their manner of
celebration, and their implications for daily life. It
offers sacramental catechesis for all the members of the
diocese, as well as promotes the liturgical formation of those
who serve the liturgical assembly. The Office of Sacred
Worship does all of these things according to the Church’s
Magisterium, especially as it is articulated by the Second
Vatican Council and set forth in the Church’s liturgical books
and Code of Canon Law.
