REC Community
As a teacher of religious education, you can feel swamped and challenged. Want to be part of an encouraging faith community where you have the opportunity to ask questions, share insights and connect with others on their journey of faith?
Liturgy Image Library
To assist in planning, the liturgy image library has a considerable archive of surprising photographs by creative photographer Nick Hughes. The library also contains an array of suitable images for the liturgical seasons, feasts, saints and special occasions by well-known artists Sister Susan Daily, IBVM OAM and Sister Dorothy Woodward, RSJ.
Music & Songs
Within the tapestry of engaging liturgy, music serves as a vibrant thread weaving together the essence of communal worship, especially when reaching out to young people. The writing team at Liturgy Ritual Prayer recognises the significant impact of music in resonating deep within the hearts and minds of the Christian community. Songs by Australian composers are used where possible.
Digital Ministry
While continuing to create the well-used liturgy, prayer and ritual resources in the present format, we are strengthening our capacity to provide a digital ministry. A number of different platforms are being explored and developed to offer an alternative approach to presenting worship for students and staff.

Testimonials
What our members say
We’re convinced we’ve created the best online liturgy, prayer and ritual resource for Catholic schools, but why not check out our members’ testimonials to hear what they have to say?
“The liturgyritualprayer website was a ‘must have’ online resource in my role as Assistant Principal Religious Education in a P-6 setting. I would access the site for meditation and prayer resources- both for use with staff and students. I could always find a resource to suit the age group I would be supporting. The resources provided were excellent and always effective. When planning a liturgy or mass, I would use the suggested liturgies. The scaffolding these would provide, assisted me to create meaningful eucharistic experiences for our students. Another aspect which I found incredibly helpful was the link between the resources and the church calendar year. I highly recommend this excellent resource for both leaders and teachers!
“Our Diocese has been subscribing to Liturgy Ritual Prayer for a number of years and I am delighted how valuable the religious education teachers find this website. The resources follow both the school calendar and church year which makes for easy planning and preparation. In these times when teachers are so ‘time poor’ it is encouraging to know that a passionate team of professional and creative Catholic educators are committed to the task
“The Liturgy Ritual Prayer website is a great support to all religious educators. It offers an abundance of great artistic, liturgical and musical resources to ensure that your school prayer life is robust and engaging. The resources are aimed at all different ages, which assists in the preparation of liturgies and prayers for both staff and students. I highly recommend this site to REC's and RE teachers.
“As the person in charge of Religious Education for our Catholic School Division, I am always on the look-out for good teacher and student friendly resources. The Liturgy, Ritual, Prayer website is far beyond good, it is outstanding. The prayer services provided on the website are always of top-notch quality. It is obvious that the creators of these prayer services know Catholic schools, Catholic teachers and Catholic students well. I can’t recommend this website highly enough.
