Liturgical Ministries

The celebration of the liturgy is central to the life of our community.  It is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the fount from which all the Church's power flows (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, 1963).  We give praise and thanksgiving for God's abundant gifts, we are nourished at the table of the Lord, and we are called forth into service to our community and to our world.  If you are interested in obtaining more information, becoming involved, or volunteering in one or more of these ministries, please contact the Parish Office.

Altar Servers
