PLEASE NOTE: Preparation for this ministry occurs on both a diocesan and a parish level, as follows:
- Diocesan: Formal instruction through the Office of Worship includes trainings for parish liturgical coordinators and the publication of general diocesan guidelines.
- Parish: Formation at the parish level regarding local customs and responsibilities; these may also include the opportunity to pray and share with others in the ministry.
These resources below articulate and represent the general diocesan guidelines. Parish -specific formation occurs at the parish level.
