The Liturgy Committee serves our parish through the ministry of the liturgy. We hope to build the faith of our community through an understanding of our church’s rituals and traditions and through the art of finding the most helpful expression of those traditions for our parish and its people. The committee advises the pastor on all matters relating to the liturgy. If you would like to be part of the Liturgy Committee please contact Fr. Tom. Click on the tabs below for more information.
