Worship at Our Lady of the Atonement is a spiritually enriching experience, in which the faithful are called to holiness by both the form and substance of the liturgical action. A Solemn High Mass involves the traditional use of incense, bells, a full procession, and Sacred Music from both the traditional Latin and English Catholic heritage. The Gloria, Credo and a number of hymns are always sung by the entire congregation, encouraging active participation by the laity. Other movements such as the Kyrie, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei are more often reserved for the choir and organ accompaniment alone, providing an atmosphere of reverence for God which prompts an interior renewal . Biblically based sermons are preached every Sunday, challenging the faithful to be strong and knowledgeable in their Catholic Faith. In keeping with St. Paul's command that "all things be done for edification"(1 Cor. 14:26), the readings from Holy Scripture are explained and applied to our walk as Christians in the world. Many members of the parish are converts from different forms of Protestantism, while others have found their life-long faith renewed and strengthened. We welcome all who seek God with a pure heart to join us as we worship the God of All Creation, Our Lord Jesus Christ.
