Liturgy is the center and the focus of our parish life. The term "liturgy" refers to the worship of our parish community of faith. Our celebrations of the Eucharist, the Sacraments, prayer services, and other forms of parish prayer, such as Stations of the Cross, are all part of our community worship and the liturgy.
The purpose of the Liturgy Committee is to assist the pastor in developing and evaluating our parish's liturgy, so that the worship experiences of our parishoners are prayerful and meaningful. The Liturgy Committee is composed of the pastor, chairperson, and those who coordinate the liturgical ministries. The liturgical ministries represented on the Liturgy Committee are the Altar Servers, Art and Environment, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Greeters, Lectors, and Music. The parish member who coordinates the scheduling of all these ministries for our weekend Masses is also a member of the Liturgy Committee.
The Liturgy Committee meets monthly to evaluate, plan, and implement the worship life of our parish community. A study of the Church's documents on the liturgy is an essential part of the work of this group of parishoners. Communication and coordination among the ministries helps our parish liturgies to be prayerful experiences for the members of our family of faith.
