Priests and Liturgy
Over the Carolingian period many followed the Christian religion, as a result priests were spread throughout the empire. In order for the priests to effectively preach to their congregations they would follow specific sets of liturgy. A clerical handbook for priests named Three Books on the Clerical Order, were written by Hrabanus Maurus in order for priests to have a guidance book on what to do. Additionally Amalarius of Metz and Walahfrid Strabo wrote commentaries on the liturgy.

Bishops had to meet with priests at least twice a year, the result of those meetings were extant statues. Extant statues were...  Additionally, whilst the effectiveness of Carolingian preaching in not fully know, we can identify the effectiveness of their system to transfer messages throughout the empire, as messages were able to go from the palace to priests in obscure towns.

Schools and Education
Within the Carolingian empire schools and education were intermingled with the church, this is because every monastery and cathedral were required to have a school. Several prominent Carolingian figures came from the church schools, perhaps the most famous example is Einhard, who was educated at Fulda. Charlemagne himself made a case for schools to teach boys, in a circular latter to the bishops and abbots of his realm, he said "Those who desire to please God by living rightly should not neglect to please Him by speaking correctly."
