Ritual Planning Ministry
Prepares creative and unique liturgical celebrations of the sacraments that inspire individuals to live their lives as exemplified by Jesus.
Provides the medium to help the community focus on the theme through prayer at Liturgy and in their homes (e.g. bulletin inserts). We preserve and promote the importance of traditional ritual in Liturgy and explore opportunities to incorporate new ideas/practices in Liturgy, when appropriate, with focus on Diversity. Meets fourth Tuesday (Aug-May) at 7pm. Annual theme development day retreat held in June.
