Worship and Spirituality Purposes This Commission is responsible for nurturing the faith of the parishioners and for planning the prayer life of the parish. Since the parish is a "Community of Faith", it follows that its quality will be determined by the faith of its parishioners. The Commission should address two major areas.
Spirituality: the interior life of the individual ? one?s personal relationship with Christ.
Worship: the expression of this relationship through public and private prayer.
Responsibilities Sacramental Prayer: To plan the celebration of the sacraments, especially the Sunday Mass, with great care, so that they are occasions for communal prayer that nourish and uplift the assembly. Teach Prayer: To teach people how to pray, including the nature of prayer and the steps in its growth.
Pray Through the Day: To encourage people to pray the Liturgy of the Hours with understanding and devotion.
Retreats: To nourish the faith of parishioners in retreats, days of recollection, devotions and other programs of spiritual enrichment.
