“The liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed;it is also the fount from which all her power flows.”Vatican II: Constitution on Sacred Liturgy
The Art and Environment collaborate with the pastor and staff on liturgy preparation, the training and formation of the various liturgical ministers, and the formation of the assembly about the sacraments and liturgy. The Art and Environment researches, initiates and coordinates all aspects of our liturgy and develops a community atmosphere that enhances our parishioners spiritual journey. Members of the committee represent different liturgical ministries.In addition, Art and Environment is in charge of enhancing the Church for each liturgical season. The goal is to care for all the elements of worship ensuring that the environment is appropriate, authentic, beautiful and accessible. We need people who can sew, build, hang lights on Christmas trees, design florals, water plants and those who can help with the installation and putting away of liturgical seasons. No matter where your talent lies there will always be something you can do to help this ministry.
Planning is done for the various liturgical seasons. There are also discussions and suggestions for special liturgies or opportunities for enrichment, prayer and worship of the parish. The committee can advise the Pastor and assist him carrying out ideas and solving problems that are shared by the committee through feedback from parishioners.
The meetings occur on an average of 4 times a year.
By virtue of baptism, each of us is called to minister to the needs of one another. To make our liturgies truly life-giving celebrations requires the gifts of everyone. Our hope is that you will prayerfully consider to become a member of this ministry. If you're interested in sharing your talents with Art and Environment, please let us know!
