The word Liturgy refers to all the public acts of worship that take place in the Church. Through the liturgy people enter into the faith and deepen their relationship with God.
Liturgy is the divine worship of the Church and includes the celebration of Mass, the celebration of the Sacraments, and the Divine Office or Daily Prayer of the Church. The celebration of the Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith, and so all other liturgies flow from and to the celebration of Mass.
Through the liturgy we encounter God, and are united with our brothers and sisters across the world as the Universal Church.
