What is LiturgyHelp?

For over 20 years, LiturgyHelp has been helping priests, teachers, catechists, musicians, and everyone involved in Catholic ministry to quickly and creatively prepare for liturgy and prayer. And now the latest version of LiturgyHelp takes this trusted resource to a new level.

LiturgyHelp is a subscription website that gives you access to the official Lectionary and Missal which are fully integrated with national Liturgical Calendars and a wealth of other liturgical resources. We provide easy online access for parishes, schools and other Catholic communities to the wealth of the Church’s liturgical texts; making it faster and easier to prepare materials for liturgy and prayer.

The site complies with all national liturgical requirements and includes a range of language options. In the USA, Spanish is provided for the Lectionary and Missal. In New Zealand, the Māori Missal texts are included. We also have versions of the site for Australia, England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

LiturgyHelp provides very cost-effective resources to individual ministers and a complete suite of web services to parish communities and ministry teams.
