Do this in remembrance of me.  ~Luke 22:19

The liturgy is a participation in Christ's own prayer addressed to the Father in the Holy Spirit.  In the liturgy, all Christian prayer finds its source and goal.  Through the liturgy, we are rooted and grounded in “the great love with which [the Father] loved us ” in his beloved Son.  It is the same “marvelous work of God ” that is lived and internalized by all prayer, “at all times in the Spirit.”  (Canon 1073)
 
As the work of Christ, liturgy is also an action of his Church. It makes the Church present and manifests her as the visible sign of the communion in Christ between God and people.  It engages the faithful in the new life of the community and involves the “conscious, active and fruitful participation” of everyone.  (Canon 1071)
 
Sacraments are “powers that come forth” from the Body of Christ, which is ever-living and life-giving.  They are actions of the Holy Spirit at work in his Body, the Church.  They are “the masterworks of God” in the new and everlasting covenant.  (Canon1116)
 
The Parish Liturgy Committee, under the direction of the pastor, is strongly recommended to assist him, the other parish clergy, and the parishioners by promoting good liturgy and vibrant prayer in the parish. The Liturgy Committee is advisory to the pastor. Its members are urged to attend the various educational opportunities provided by the Diocese, and the parish shall make substantive endeavors to facilitate and assist the members in their formation.

We invite the community into full, active, conscious participation in the liturgical life of the parish. We provide leadership, organization, planning, coordination, formation, communication, and evaluation for liturgical ministries.  We embrace a commitment to serve the diverse liturgical needs of our parish family.
