The Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions is a national organization that brings together diocesan liturgical commissions, worship offices, and their diocesan counterparts. Diocesan liturgical personnel, appointed by bishops, are responsible for promoting the liturgical life of their dioceses. The FDLC serves as an official collaborating agent, connecting local churches through diocesan worship offices and liturgical commissions with the USCCB Bishops' Committee on Divine Worship (BCDW). Based in Bethesda, Maryland, it operates as a small national body within the religious institutions sector. Its primary audience includes diocesan offices and commissions that oversee liturgical life, with the FDLC providing coordination and collaboration at the national level. In 2025 it launched a five-part webinar series on celebrating liturgy, highlighting ongoing educational activities aligned with its mission.
