“…the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the fount from which all the Church’s power flows.

Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy #10
Boyne Valley Catholic Community strives to live out the words of the Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy in the celebration of the most sacred liturgy. Since liturgy is the “font from which all the Church’s power flows”, we understand the significance of celebrating the liturgy well. As the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy states in paragraph #7, “…every liturgical celebration, because it is an action of Christ the Priest and of his Body which is the Church, is a sacred action surpassing all others; no other action of the Church can equal its effectiveness by the same title and to the same degree.”
We invite to look through our website at the various opportunities to celebrate the different liturgies of our Church. |
