Liturgical Ministries

The Catholic Church's "Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy" presents several descriptions as to the activities of liturgy, though not a strict definition. Liturgy "does not exhaust the entire activity of the Church" (S.C., 9) but is "the summit towards which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the font from which all her power flows (S.C., 10). … It is very much the wish of the Church that all the faithful should be led to take that full, conscious and active part in liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very nature of the liturgy, and to which the Christian people …have a right and to which they are bound by reason of their Baptism (S.C., 14)."

Thus liturgy, which is comprised of public, communal, ritual activities, must be seen and distinguished as different from personal, private prayer and other pious exercises.

Along with "full, conscious and active" participation as members of the Sunday assembly, we invite your participation in these ministerial opportunities which enhance our liturgical celebrations.
