The Office of Worship for the Diocese of St. Petersburg is established to be a resource to pastors and parish staffs in the development and evaluation of the liturgy. In collaboration with the Diocesan Liturgical Commission – advisors appointed by the Bishop – the Office of Worship has developed a variety of resources that can be used at the local level or with our assistance.
