Liturgy Commission

resourcing the liturgical life of the diocese

The Commission aims to resource the liturgical life of the diocese through offering training, relevant resources and updates in its different areas. It also works to support diocesan liturgies and the provision of the Rites of Christian Initiation. We respond to requests for support from parishes and schools for the Church’s liturgy, and as communities seek to refurbish, develop and enrich our buildings.

Funerals – Diocesan Guidance

The commission has prepared guidance for the celebration of Catholic Funerals, building on the previous text of some years ago.

There are four sections to the guidance:

1. For clergy
2. For funeral directors and their staff
3. Understanding a Catholic funeral
4. Preparing for my funeral

A downloadable copy of all sections is available by clicking here.
