When you enter a Catholic church, compared to most other churches, you will often find many unattended and lit candles-a rare sight in this world of insurance regulations. We could intuit that candles are an essential part of our faith. + Cuando ingresa a una iglesia católica, en comparación con la mayoría de las otras iglesias, encontrará muchas velas encendidas y desatendidas, algo poco común en este mundo de regulaciones de seguros. Podríamos intuir que las velas son parte esencial de nuestra fe.

This past week we had a volunteer appreciation dinner to recognize the monumental work that volunteers do to make this parish as strong as it is. Liturgically we frequently focus on the role of the clergy in making Mass happen. We certainly can’t do it without them, but as culture has shifted many of the roles that were fulfilled by the surplus of clergy have now become the role of the laity. This includes the lectors, servers, sacristans, and more. Less than two hundred years ago almost every role would have been fulfilled by clergy. SEE MORE

When you enter our church during Christmas or Easter the transformation of the space can be overwhelming. The wonderful work that makes this happen is done by our Arts & Environment team, who does much more than decorate for these major celebrations. In addition to decorating, they also serve as stewards of flowers and candles throughout our church space. This can be particularly demanding when there are lots of flowers in the church to keep them fresh and cleaned up.
