| 2007-2008 Worship / Spiritual Life Commission Goals |
ˆ Back to Top |
- Create welcoming and vibrant liturgical celebrations that invite conscious, active and full participation of our parishioners in such a manner as to create a hunger to return.
- Assist each ministry and committee at Faith Hope to include prayer at all meetings and gatherings, which in turn shall help deepen faith and spirituality throughout our community.
- Carry the Christian hospitality theme throughout our ministries in order to weave a corporate sense of welcome at all liturgies.
- Increase catechesis regarding liturgies, especially as to why we say certain prayers and do certain postures at Mass.
