“Liturgy is the revelation of God to humanity and human’s relationship to God. It is an infinity sign of God’s presence in the world, i.e. the living proof of His presence.” – Pope Benedict XVI
The word “liturgy” originally meant a “public work” or a “service in the name of/on behalf of the people.” In Christian tradition, it means the participation of the People of God in “the work of God.” Through the liturgy, Christ, our redeemer and high priest, continues the work of our redemption in, with, and through his Church [CCC 1069]. The liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; it is also the font from which all her power flows. It is therefore the privileged place for catechizing the People of God, especially in the Eucharist, Christ Jesus works in fullness for the transformation of men [CCC 1074].
At Holy Spirit Parish, we thrive to have a life-giving and vibrant liturgy, i.e. stirring and uplifting the community’s religious zeal and spiritual devotion to lead all to conscious, active and fruitful participation in the work of God. In order to achieve this goal, we formed the Liturgy Committee who collaboratively assist and support the pastor in carrying out ideas and plans for the parish developed with the committee’s creative thoughts and recommendations. While the following is not exhaustive, here, in general, is the scope of the Liturgy Committee:
the committee advises on ways to continuously improve the quality, the value, and the excellence of various liturgical activities in the parish,
the committee advises on how to resolve some challenges based on the shared feedback of our parishioners,
the committee advises on how to be effective stewards of the liturgy resources, and
the committee advises on how to anticipate the community's needs for faith enrichment, soulful prayer, and praiseful worship.
Members of the committee are represented by the Chair of each Liturgical Ministry:
Ushers, and
other members of the parish at large.
On Sunday, we gather as the Body of Christ to celebrate the Lord’s Day, the day of Christ’s Resurrection. We come together as the People of God, the Church, to worship with one heart and one voice. For the Mass schedule, please visit this page for more information.
