Liturgy Planning

Planning for the Celebration of the Liturgical Seasons

The Liturgy Planning Committee insures that the worship and public prayer at Holy Archangels Parish is celebrated well and according to the guidelines of Vatican II. The Liturgy Planning Committee serves the needs of the community of Holy Archangels Parish for worship and prayer by planning the best possible liturgical, sacramental and prayer experiences. These activities reflect the needs of the community/assembly who participate, as well as express the liturgical seasons and the mission of the Church.

Ministry’s Activities

The committee plans for the celebration of the liturgical seasons within the parish. Preparations are made for weekend and Holy Day Eucharistic liturgies, sacramental and prayer services and various rites.
The committee’s planning process may include familiarity with how the parish celebrated liturgical seasons in past years, as well as familiarity with the Church’s prayer for this season gained through studying and reflecting on the scriptures and other texts of the season.

The Planning Committee will determine music proposals, art and environment. The committee will select and prepare prayer texts when options are available. It also will review all proposals, assessing them for flow, simplicity, appropriateness and feasibility. The Liturgy Planning Committee may finalize plans and communicate them to the appropriate ministers.

Time Commitment

Meetings of the Liturgy Planning Committee take place during the year to address the various liturgical seasons. Meetings take place in the Parish Ministry center.
