Liturgical Ministry
The word
liturgy comes from a Greek word meaning
"the Work of the People." Liturgy is done by the entire
worshipping community - sometimes acting together,
sometimes with different members acting in particular
roles. In the liturgy, each of us is called to full,
active, and conscious participation. Some members are
called to worship as a member of the Church assembled.
Some others, by virtue of certain gifts, are called to
act as servants, or ministers, to the assembly. The
musicians, the
lectors, the
ministers of the Eucharist,
hospitality ministers, the priest,
the
servers,
ushers, and the
Mass coordinators all freely share
their gifts with the parish to help make our worship
together as beautiful and as accessible as possible.
