The Office of Divine Worship promotes and facilitates the Sacred Liturgy in the Archdiocese of Portland and within each parish through catechesis and training. Together with its chief steward the Archbishop, the Office hopes to provide the necessary environment for a more reverent, more beautiful and more prayerful experience of the Sacred Liturgy for the faithful of the Archdiocese.
The Office works to promote the vision of the Second Vatican Council, understanding that the Most Holy Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life and that the other sacraments, as well as with every ministry of the Church and every work of the apostolate, are tied together with the Holy Eucharist and are directed toward it.
