LITURGY & WORSHIP COMMISSION
Chairperson
Father Arnsparger
“Liturgical services are not private functions but are celebrations of the Church which is ‘the sacrament of unity’, namely, the holy people united and arranged under their bishops.”
This commission is concerned with the liturgical functions that serve as the primary demonstrative expressions of faith and worship, viz., the sacraments, as well as programs explicitly involving spiritual growth and development.
Thus, this commission is concerned with discerning, training, developing, scheduling and the renewal of laity in their participation in liturgical celebrations, especially the Eucharistic ministers, lectors, servers, cantors, greeters and those involved in all area of musical planning and participation.
The commission members must form themselves into a praying, learning faith community, educating and renewing themselves through prayer, study, and attendance at appropriate workshops, seminars, and similar learning opportunities,
The members must be knowledgeable of diocesan directives and resources, using each, in the most effective and economical manner.
The commission is to determine, with other parish members, the liturgical and sacramental needs of the parish community, including those of shut-ins, care-givers, the ill, nursing home residents and all others in unusual situations or needing assistance.
It is to plan and assist in the coordination of all liturgical, para-liturgical or special celebrations and events; it must also work cooperatively with other commissions and parish organizations.
It must prepare, carry out, and evaluate a yearly action plan based on the long range goals set by the parish pastoral council (in conjunction with all the commissions) as part of the parish pastoral plan.
