Liturgy & Worship

The Liturgy & Worship Ministry supports our Priest and Deacon in planning and running the core liturgical functions of the church to achieve our Mission objectives in bringing people to Jesus through prayer. We help plan well-organised, meaningful and animated liturgies from regular Weekday and Sunday Mass to the more elaborate liturgies for Christmas and Easter. Our Altar Servers assist the priest in celebrating Mass, and our Eucharistic Ministers help with the distribution of the Sacrament of Holy Communion at Mass and take it to the homes of our housebound parishioners. We support our Priest when required at Funerals, Weddings and other Services. We liaise on the duties of Welcomers and collaborate with other Ministries particularly Spirituality and Prayer.
