Liturgy Formation

The Archdiocese of Louisville Liturgy Formation Program offers the opportunity for participants to gain a deeper understanding of the rituals we celebrate and a greater knowledge of liturgical ministry. Through twelve classes—which provide a basic understanding of liturgy, the liturgical year, liturgical ministry, liturgical music, and the celebration of the Mass—the Liturgy Formation Program aims to assist in promoting the fruitful celebration of the liturgy throughout the archdiocese. The two modules of six classes each will be offered in the fall and winter of 2024-2025 at the Catholic Enrichment Center on Tuesday evenings.

The Liturgy Formation Program is open to all parishioners but would be especially beneficial for Worship and Music Directors, Worship Committees, Liturgy Preparation Teams, Musicians, Deacons, and Sacristans.
