Liturgy

​Welcome to the Liturgy webpage. We have a great deal of information on this page. For more information, please refer to our Parish bulletin for contact information.

​

  • The Liturgy Committee endeavors to facilitate vibrant liturgical and worship celebrations. Liturgy celebrations strengthen the parish as a community, and spiritually nourishes that community.

​

  • The committee meets the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Parish’s Multi-purpose rooms.

​

  • The committee intends to set the vision for liturgy and worship for the parish in collaboration with the Pastor and clergy staff, while maintaining compliance with Archdiocesan guidelines and directives.  It oversees its liturgical ministries. The following are brief descriptions of the liturgical ministries, subcommittees and seasonal planning needs.
