LITURGY: Liturgy Planning Committee

Picture
The Liturgy Planning Commission promotes and strengthens the ongoing liturgical renewal in the church. The Commission's responsibilities include planning of the liturgies for our parish and oversight of the liturgical ministries. During an annual retreat, members break open the readings for the year, pray together and vision for the next liturgical year. Meetings are then held as needed.  Contact: to be announced

Holy Days of Obligation (Solemnity)

The first point to clarify is that these days are ALWAYS holy days. That does not change. What we are really talking about is the obligation to
participate in Mass. The directive is simple. When a holyday of obligation
falls on a Monday or a Saturday the obligation is lifted. The two
exceptions to this policy are Christmas and the Immaculate Conception of Mary.
