In the celebration of the sacraments, especially in the Eucharist, we are more closely united to God and to one another. This union calls us and empowers us to share the gifts that we have been given with others. The following are the ministries that help our community to worship well.


WORSHIP COMMISSION

This group is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the worship activities in the parish. People who are creative and committed are needed to share views and ideas about worship.
