Liturgical
The Mass in which you participate on Sunday, the marriage of a couple, morning and evening prayer, the baptism of a child - all are liturgies in the Roman Catholic Church. Within St. Edward Parish, the Liturgy Committee takes a very active role in preparing and insuring the celebration of the liturgy.
The Liturgy Committee works for the liturgical education of the parish at large and serves as the primary caretaker of the liturgy:
- Prepares and implements liturgies for the major seasonal celebrations. (Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter Seasons)
- Provides ministers at specifically designated liturgies.
- Works with other parish groups (RCIA, Religious Education, Youth Ministry, etc.) for liturgical events under their sponsorship.
The committee meets throughout the year. Meetings can include an educational component, preparation of liturgy, task assignment and implementation of plans.
Membership includes the parish liturgy/music director, and representatives of different ministries of the parish: Eucharistic ministers, lectors, ushers, RCIA, Religious Education, Youth Ministry, Children's Liturgy, altar servers and environment.
