Our Mission

Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed nomine tuo da gloriam!
(Not to us O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory!)

(Psalm 115 (113))

The Society of Saint Odo of Cluny exists for the following purposes:

  • To promote the worthy celebration of the Sacred Liturgy.
  • To foster fellowship among Catholic liturgical ministry leaders, providing each other support and encouragement.
  • To be a forum for reflection upon and discussion of questions concerning the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy.
  • To act as a resource for Catholic clergy and lay ministers, and for those who have questions about the Sacred Liturgy.

Saint Odo of Cluny

In all that we do, we strive for the following:

  • Orthodoxy – fidelity to Catholic teaching.
  • Faithfulness – to scripture, tradition, magisterium.
  • Reverence – for God and the sacred.
  • Obedience – to the rubrics and words of the Missal and the other ritual books.
  • Beauty – that we may touch hearts.
  • Transcendence – that we may lift those hearts to God.

The Society of Saint Odo of Cluny will always maintain fidelity to the Catholic Church and will always operate with due regard to her magisterium, our Ordinary, and our pastoral authorities.

The only real gift man should give to God is himself.”

(Ratzinger, The Spirit of the Liturgy)
