Liturgical Ministry
Emulate Christ's Ministry of Service
Bring together the diverse population of our parish membership to participate in and enhance the liturgical experience for everyone. Liturgical Ministers’ hospitality and gracious acceptance of others will contribute to their own spiritual growth and enhance the spiritual growth of others. Our liturgical celebrations, enriched by the service of these ministers, will deepen the faith and sense of community for all. We are Christ’s hands and feet – the Body of Christ.
Lay people who place their time and talent at the service of the liturgical assembly are people who are serious about living out their baptismal right and responsibility to worship.
