The main service of the Roman Catholic Church, in which the Eucharist is celebrated; daily and, solemnly, on Sundays.
Liturghia catolică are două părți mari: Liturgia Cuvântului (lecturi din Biblie, Evanghelia, predica) și Liturgia Euharistică (ofertoriul, rugăciunea euharistică, Împărtășania). Durează, de obicei, aproximativ o oră.
În România se celebrează în română, maghiară, germană și alte limbi, după comunitate. Până la Conciliul Vatican II (1962–1965), limba Liturghiei era latina.
