"The mystery of the Church is most effectively expressed
in the liturgy. In the liturgy, the Church
PARTICIPATES IN CHRIST'S WORK OF GLORIFYING GOD AND 
SANCTIFYING THE HUMAN RACE
so that those who believe in Christ and are members of his Church might be empowered and motivated to proclaim the good news that God has offered salvation to all in his Son Jesus Christ."

(NCCB, The Church at Prayer:  A Holy Temple of the Lord.)

The work of
Partipating in Christ's Work of Glorifying God and
Sanctifying the Human Race
is the context from which arises the
DIOCESAN DEPARTMENT OF WORSHIP AND SPIRITUAL LIFE
 

MISSION:  TO NURTURE 
  the Sacramental, Liturgical, and Spiritual Life
of the People of God in the Catholic Diocese of Memphis in Tennessee

Together we work to:

  • Provide a variety of opportunities for spiritual formation, growth and development.
