The main focus of the Worship and Sacraments Department is to insure that the parishioners' liturgical and sacramental experiences are rich and nurturing. We prepare parishioners and their families for the reception of all sacraments. The ministries involved in the celebration of the Mass, such as lectors, sacristans, gift bearers and ushers, are mentored by this department. The music ministry plans and implements all liturgical music and audio-visual meditations for the parish. All adult prayer services and liturgies, as well as Children's Liturgy of the Word, are planned. The Accoutrement Committee is responsible for the environment of our worship space, and works under the guidance of the Worship and Sacraments Department.
