Liturgy/Environment
Planning the liturgy and decorating the Church according to the liturgical season.
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a resoration of the ancient practice of initiation in the Church. Focused on conversion, candidates entered an extended period of formation and probation. The community ritually celebrated the conversion at various points on the journey, culminating with the celebration of baptism, confirmation and eucharist at the Easter Vigil. An extended catechesis followed this to help the newly initiated to live the commitment they made: lives of justice, service and charity as witnesses of the reign of God.
Teachers, class aides, and office support needed to share our faith with children and adult parishioners.
Saturday Saints

Teens are encouraged to participate in Youth Nights and Youth Mass, service projects, and Vicariate and Diocesan Youth events.
