Liturgical ministries are the foundational components for the function of our mass. Parishioners are encouraged to become active in one of the liturgical ministries. These ministries include the following: Altar Servers, Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, Lectors, Ministers of Hospitality, Music & Sound, Liturgical Dance, and Worship Environment.
The Liturgy
The liturgy is a public, community prayer and ritual. It is not private. As baptized Catholics, we have a responsibility to ensure this is happening in our community. The Second Vatican Council and the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy has called us to "full, active, and conscious participation" in the Church's sacred liturgy. However, there are still many Catholics who are not singing or actively participating in the prayers during the liturgy.
To participate as a full, active, and conscious participant in the liturgy you should:
- Arrive on time.
- Welcome those around you to the liturgy.
- Participate actively in the prayers.
- Sing (loudly).
- Stay for the entire liturgy.
