Liturgy Committee

The Liturgy Committee meets eight times a year.  Liturgy Committee members learn more about the rituals, prayers, music and gestures we perform as a Catholic community that help to bring us closer to Christ and each other.  Along with learning more about our faith, the Liturgy Committee also plans for various celebrations throughout the litugical year.  As Catholics, we have many reasons to celebrate and the Liturgy Committee helps us to appreciate and understand all of these reasons on a deeper level.  Any parishioner is welcome to attend Liturgy Committee meetings to help plan one or more of our celebrations.
