MINISTRIES :

LITURGY

LAY PRESIDERS:

Parishioners who lead the Assembly in prayer, chosen for their dedication to direct the celebration and to co-ordinate the companion ministries involved. Their sense of servanthood sets the mood, which is the basis for all genuine lay presiding.

LITURGY PREPARATION TEAM

The team works to involve parishioners in both immediate and long-range ways... so learning and enjoyment are ongoing.

COMPOSING PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL

This entails writing for the assembly, 3 or 4 times per year, those prayers that reflect the needs of the world and the parish community. Using the book At Home With The Word and following a "formula" for the prayers, the composer writes from his or her prospective with those prayers to which the assembly will respond.
