This committee serves the action of the Liturgy - reflecting the seasons, feasts and traditions of our church throughout the interior of our church, and the exterior of our parish grounds. Inspired by seasonal themes, meditation on Holy Scripture and artistic ideas, we contribute to the beauty and richness of our encounter with the mystery of God among us.
