The Liturgy Committee includes Liturgical ministry leaders - Music, Altar Server, Lector, Usher, Youth Ministry, and Church Environment. They meet with the Pastor to coordinate the Liturgy of the Mass for the Liturgical seasons and Feast Days. The committee meets every second Tuesday of the month in the downstairs classroom.

This ministry cleans and maintains the linen supply for the altar. Once a week, volunteers bring home the purificator and corporal small linens to machine wash and iron. At present, we usually meet after the daily 8:30 am Mass or when convenient. Time dedication: Be willing to devote an hour or so to machine wash and iron a relatively small amount of laundry and place them in the sacristy.

Under the direction of the pastor, the main goals of this team ministry is to creatively plan and use art and decor to bring beauty and glory to God's house. We enhance and focus the Liturgy both in Ordinary time and through the Liturgical seasons and Feast days of the Church. The ministry also maintains the holy water fonts, the supply room, and makes sure the plants and arrangements are watered and presentable. Volunteers are needed for drape changes and decorating for liturgical seasons and feast days. Monetary donations, flowers, or plants are greatly appreciated. Please contact the pastor if you would like to help in any way.

This ministry involves proclaiming the Word of God in the Mass. Those who are good at public speaking or have a natural talent of being in front of others should consider this ministry. The lector does not read, but rather proclaims the scripture readings. Commitment is needed to schedule mass times. Persons should attend a preparatory session involving not only basic instruction, but also reflection and catechesis held at the start of the Liturgical seasons of Lent, Advent, and Ordinary time.
