Liturgical Ministries

Jesus said, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’”

Luke 4:8

Worship of God is at the very heart of who we are followers of Christ and members of His Church.

During every Mass we participate by means of the responses, acclamations, songs, the postures of prayer and, at the proper times, by an attentive silence. Some parishioners graciously volunteer to serve in specific worship roles that help make our encounter with Christ Jesus at Mass even more meaningful for everyone.
