THEME SUNDAYS

In observing special themes in connection with Sunday liturgies, it is important not to violate the integrity of the liturgy itself. These themes have greater or lesser importance according as they are directed to be observed by the bishop, promoted for observance by a diocesan office but left to the discretion of parish leadership, or simply the choice of a parish. Consequently, Divine Mercy Sunday has been added to our theme Sundays and materials will be made available upon request for its annual observance.
