The Catholic Faith Handbook

Liturgy is the public, communal, official worship of the Church

Baptism is the central liturgy of the Catholic Church, the basis for most other liturgical celebrations.

Only Jesus and the Holy Spirit are part of the liturgy, not God the Father.

Christ is present in the liturgical assembly.

The liturgy and the Sacraments commemorate past events only.

Advent is not part of the Liturgical Year.

During Holy Week, we prepare with joy for the coming of the infant Jesus.

Liturgical rites may vary somewhat from culture to culture, but all remain true to the core truths about the Sacraments revealed in Tradition.

To fail to attend Sunday Mass is a sin against the Third Commandment.

The Church does not require us to attend Sunday Mass.
