School Mass Guidelines

OFW Guidelines

The Office for Divine Worship in collaboration with the Department of Catholic Schools have prepared the following Catholic School Mass Guidelines. These guidelines are intended to support the planning and celebration of school Masses so that they may be both spiritually enriching and liturgically sound, thus helping our students to encounter Christ and grow in the life of the Church.

Archdiocesan Guidelines for Catholic School Mass

When we gather for school Masses, we are participating in the public worship offered by the Mystical Body of Christ—by Christ the Head and all of us, His members. These celebrations are privileged moments of grace where the Church worships and gives glory to the Father through prayer, praise, and thanksgiving.
