The Liturgy & Worship Ministries assist the priests in the celebration of the Liturgy.

Liturgical celebration is all those rites through which the Church publicly praises God in Jesus' name. It includes the Mass, baptisms, weddings and all the other sacraments. It also includes other rites such as Christian burial and the blessing of water, palms, and ashes. Its focus is the event, which has changed human history: the Easter event, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The liturgy is public and open to all. We need no special knowledge, no devotion to a particular saint or fondness for a particular form of prayer to participate on the Church's liturgy, only membership in Jesus' living Body.

The Liturgy shows us gospel living and how to interact in a changing world. Catholic morality, how we deal in justice and charity day by day with great and small matters, is to be encountered and uncovered from our active participation in the liturgy.
