The Liturgy committee is a group of parishioners who meet the third Tuesday of each month September through May to study,
prepare, assign, rehearse, motivate, orchestrate and evaluate all the components of the liturgy. Although the nucleus of this
comm
ittee is relatively small it relies on commitment of hundreds of dedicated volunteers working together to provide a smoothly
flowing, meaningful experience through each of the liturgical seasons. The committee works in cooperation with the pastor
Father Denny and the pastoral assistant Sister Madonna Friedman who provide their leadership and expertise.
In addition to liturgical seasons the committee enjoys preparing liturgical celebrations for national holidays that
embrace religious concepts. As an example, Blessed Sacrament had established a tradition of creating a bountiful harvest by generous donations of food staples to be given to the poor as a part of our thanksgiving celebration.
With the name Blessed Sacrament we celebrate the feast of Corpus Christi as our namesake feast day. Our celebration
includes a procession of the Eucharist to the Eucharistic Chapel led by Eucharistic ministers as candle bearers and first communicant's of the past year.
The committee is blessed with members who also serve on the parish council and can carry our requests to the council.
The remainder of the committee consists of parishioners who have a love for the liturgy. a scrutinizing eye for evaluation, an ability to communicate and the willingness to serve.
A number of subcommittees work under the guidance of the liturgy committee. The Eucharist ministers, greeters, lectors,
musicians, and environment committees receive their direction form the Liturgy committee. Workshops are offered regularly
for all ministers along with an appreciation events for all ministers.
