Historical Note

An organization comprised of Catholic religious and laity working towards liturgical reforms and greater lay participation in the liturgy. The Conference was originally founded as the "Benedictine Liturgical Conference" in 1940 and formally incorporated in 1944. Its name changed to The Liturgical Conference to reflect the increased interest of all Catholics and (later) Protestant denominations. The Conference is best known for its sponsorship of national Liturgical Weeks (1940-1968) and for its publications, including Homily Service (until 2010) and Liturgy.
