Liturgy & Music

Welcome to the web page of the Commission on Liturgy and Music of the Diocese of Louisiana. This page will be updated on a regular basis, providing information and resources to help you in planning liturgy for your parish. We hope you will also check out the links to liturgy and music websites of the wider Episcopal Church, and contact us if we may be of help to you, or if you have suggestions for additions to this site.
