Liturgy Committee

The Liturgy Planning Committee meets at least quarterly to plan for each season of the Church Year.  This committee coordinates with the Music and Arts & Environment Committees for seasonal themes and special ceremonies.  The goal of the committee is to plan liturgical and sacramental celebrations in such a way as to foster full participation of all parishioners.
