“Solomon made all the articles that were for the house of the Lord: the golden altar; the table on which the showbread lay; the lampstands of pure gold, five to the right and five to the left before the inner sanctuary; their flowers, lamps, and tongs of gold; basins, snuffers, bowls, cups, and firepans of pure gold; hinges of gold for the doors of the innermost part of the house, or holy of holies, and for the doors of the outer room, the nave.”
(1 Kg 7:48-50).

The Parish of the Holy Eucharist Sacred Environment ministry is dedicated to serve the parish in preparing an atmosphere for worship that will invite parishioners to raise their hearts and minds to God in full, conscious, and active participation. The goal of this ministry is to care for all the elements of worship ensuring that the liturgical environment is appropriate, authentic, beautiful, and accessible. The ministry is responsible for decorating our churches to reflect the liturgical season.
Those interested in participating in this ministry should have an interest in the arts, sewing, polishing, arranging and caring for plants/flowers, and an eye for beauty. Liturgical Environment is focused on the preparation of a space for sacred worship and should invite all parishioners to enter into the sacred beauty of the Holy Mass while reflecting the theology of the liturgical season. In short, the liturgical environment should elevate the parish's prayer and worship. Pope Francis wrote in Evangelii Gaudium: “The Church evangelizes and is herself evangelized by beauty in the liturgy.”If you are interested in serving, please contact the appropriate church coordinator.
