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.
For more information contact Sandra McNeill 847-3611.
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.
For more information contact the parish at [email protected].
