The Office of Divine Worship promotes and facilitates the Sacred Liturgy in the Archdiocese of Portland and within each parish through catechesis and training. Together with its chief steward the Archbishop, the Office hopes to provide the necessary environment for a more reverent, more beautiful and more prayerful experience of the Sacred Liturgy for the faithful of the Archdiocese. The Office works to promote the vision of the Second Vatican Council, understanding that the Most Holy Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life and that the other sacraments, as well as with every ministry of the Church and every work of the apostolate, are tied together with the Holy Eucharist and are directed toward it.
These beautiful prayer cards (4x5) are available from the Office of Divine Worship,

What does “sacred music” actually mean? Can we discuss music fruitfully, without the
“traditional vs. progressive” dichotomy? What can churches do with their music to
attract young families? What did Vatican II actually say about music?
These questions and more are answered in “What is Catholic Sacred Music?”, a 5-part
miniseries. Each video is only 10-15 minutes, answering the most pressing questions
on sacred music in 2020. The miniseries was produced to help every Catholic easily
understand what “sacred music” means, and to create an accessible entry-point for
fruitful discussions.
