“…the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the font from which all her power flows.” -- Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy 10

 
Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, Ushers, Greeters, and Music Ministers are all very important in our celebration of the Mass as a community of believers.  The people in these ministries assist those gathered to worship together in a meaningful way.  Training sessions are required for all Eucharistic Ministers and recommended for all Lectors.  Trainings for these two ministries, as well as ongoing enrichment sessions for all liturgical ministers, are provided through our Vicariate Ministry Commissions.

As Catholics, we pray using a variety of prayer forms: devotional prayer, scriptural prayer, centering prayer. When the Church gathers as the Body of Christ on the Lord’s Day to hear the Scriptures and offer our great prayer of praise and thanksgiving, we are called into Liturgical Prayer.
 
This six-part series is designed for all who are involved in the preparation of parish liturgies, for liturgical ministers, and for those interested in renewing their understanding of, and appreciation for the Church’s Liturgy. The speakers will present the many aspects of liturgy that make it the “source and summit” of the life of the Church.
