Worship

Worship Ministry
"Liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the church is directed; at the same time it is the fountain from which all her power flows." (from the Catholic Church's Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy.)

The Worship Ministry takes as its mission this realization of the Vatican II vision. Thus, they are entrusted to prepare well for the Church's liturgy by enabling all to share their God given gifts by providing opportunities for all of us to participate in Sunday Liturgy. It is through our celebration of Eucharist that we are called to bring the light of Christ into the world through our daily actions.

Volunteer Ministries/Opportunities
The Worship Ministry has many ways you can volunteer by looking into one of their nine Liturgical Ministries and/or five Volunteer opportunities. For more information please contact Dcn. John Bundra at the parish office 920-499-5156 ext. 209.
