Who We Are
The National Centre for Liturgy was founded to promote liturgical
formation in the light of Vatican II. It was established in 1973
when the late Mgr Sean Swayne was appointed National Secretary for
Liturgy.
The National Centre for Liturgy houses the National Secretariat for
Liturgy which works on behalf of the Episcopal Conference and the
Irish Episcopal Commission for Liturgy and co-ordinates the work
of the various consultative agencies on liturgy, church music,
sacred art and architecture and liotuirge in nGaeilge.
New Liturgy is the quarterly bulletin of the Secretariat.
The National Centre for Liturgy has been engaged in the work of
liturgical formation since 1973.
The Centre also conducts shorter courses at other centres.
