To do this it is essential that the parish Liturgy Committee familiarise themselves with the principles of good liturgy and liturgical art. The first step is to read and discuss the various Church documents on the Liturgy. These documents are readily available online as well as in print. It varies, although true Liturgical Art is often more affordable than most parishes realize. Many factors influence the pricing of Sacred Art.
Some Liturgical artists are in great demand because of their reputation, style or skill.
Others concentrate on certian areas of specialty. Each has their own pricing guidelines and policies, so no general statement can be made about the cost of true Liturgical Art. A Liturgical Artist will generally work with a community's budget and their creations will appreciate in value. Manufactured items generally depreciate in value and often pass out of style in a few years time. When true liturgical art is available, it is degrading to the essential sanctity of the liturgy to resort to manufactured kitsch.
