The Parish has a very active Liturgy Committee which helps with the organisation and planning of our Masses and Liturgies. The Committee arranges the volunteer rosters for hospitality, readings, flowers, Sacristy, Offertory and Holy Communion.
Liturgy is the public prayer of the Church and includes the sacraments. It is through the Liturgy and the sacraments that the faithful, by their full, active and conscious participation, encounter the Living God and return to the world to fulfill their baptismal call to discipleship. The Liturgy has central and formative place in the Church, in the Parish and in the life of every Catholic.
Chaired by the Parish Priest, Fr. Paul McDonald, St Anthony’s Liturgy Committee members represent the major liturgical ministries and have an understanding of the relevance and roles that those ministries have within the liturgy. The Liturgy Committee is responsible for the overall vision of the liturgy and setting both long and short term goals for the liturgical year.
Our committee prepares each liturgy through:
- consideration of the liturgical needs of all – different ages, ethnic groups, gender, etc.
- developing policies for liturgical celebrations
- arranging liturgical formation and ongoing training for Liturgical Ministries
- implementing changes as required by the Church
- ongoing evaluation of parish liturgical celebrations
- preparation and execution of the liturgy
The Liturgy Committee usually meets on the last Friday of the month at 3:30pm, in the Parish Meeting Room. Other meetings are called as required.
