Catholic Liturgy of the Word with Communion - for a Sunday or Solemnity

This is a template for a Catholic Liturgy of the Word with Communion on  Sunday or Solemnity (feast day).

This is a type of service that is sometimes used when a priest is not available, but people from a community want to pray together.



Countries / dioceses have different guidelines for when such services are available and how they are organised and lead. This template is based on "Celebrations of the Word & Communion for Sunday & Weekday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest" from the Liturgy Office for England and Wales.

You are welcome to adapt it to fit with local needs.

This form is designed so everything fits on one page - you can see at a glance what happens, and when. It is is particularly for:
  • People who are planning and organising services
  • Musicians who need to know what they need to play / sing, and when it occurs in the service
  • Audio visual and other technical people, who need to know what equipment is needed where and when
  • Anyone else (eg sacristans, altar servers, photographers) who needs to know exactly which parts of the service are needed.
And it may be useful for other people with a role in the service who are nervous about knowing exactly when they need to carry it out etc.

The template is not a replacement for published Ritual books which contain texts and more detailed instructions, and which are needed by people who are leading such services.
