Mission: 

Prepare for the community at-large creative and unique liturgical celebrations of the sacraments that inspire individuals to live their lives as exemplified by Jesus.

Objectives:

At monthly meetings plan the major liturgical seasons and events including:

• Provide vehicle/tool to help the community focus on the theme through prayer at Liturgy
• Provide a vehicle/tool to bring message into homes (e.g. Advent inserts)
• Focus on diversity
• Preserve the importance of ritual/understanding/traditions and various cultures, (e.g. bread on Holy Thursday, daffodils on Good Friday, Servants’ Sign on back wall, banner.)
• Commit ourselves to personal spiritual growth and communal worship, (e.g. Holy Week Readings, Little Black Books, Communion Meditations, Month of Remembering with Offertory Litany of Remembering.)
• Take advantage of special enrichment programs and resources for the members.
• Communicate and work as needed with other ministries.
• Measure and evaluate our resources and the effectiveness of our ministry in light of our St. John Fisher Mission and Vision.
