Prayer & Worship Commission
St. Gabriel Parish’s Prayer & Worship Commission nourishes and gives direction to the liturgical and communal prayer life of the community. The members collaborate with the pastor and staff in this area of mission on liturgy preparation, the training and formation of the various liturgical ministers, and the formation of the assembly about the sacraments and liturgy. The commission may have committees, such as environment, extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist, greeters, and lectors.
Special areas of this commission’s focus are:
- Seasonal Reconciliation Services
- Eucharistic adoration
- Stations of the Cross
- Special celebrations throughout the liturgical year:
- the Mass of Remembrance, Anointing of the Sick, Jacob's Ladder, and Blessings of the Animals...to name a few.
