Art & Environment Committee

Function
Volunteers from the parish use their creative and artistic talents to prepare the worship environment for Sundays, feast days, sacramental celebrations, and the liturgical seasons. The needed skills may include floral arrangement, sewing, painting, design skills and a sense of beauty and art that can be applied to our liturgy.

Structure
The committee is loosely structured and works under the guidance and auspices of the Liturgy Committee. Members meet to plan and prepare the environment for a season or celebration as needed. They inform and update themselves about liturgical arts through educational material and observing sacred spaces.

Member Profile
Members should have a sense of design, proportion and artistic appreciation or be willing to learn and grow in these areas. Specific skills are needed (mentioned above), as well as the support and work of anyone who loves the liturgy and wishes to help express it in the most beautiful l way possible. The committee works together as a group to bring forward the best that the community has to offer.

Time Commitment
Time commitment varies depending upon the celebration or season. Extra time is required before the beginning of each liturgical season (Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, summer, autumn, winter). Actual set-up and preparation for each season takes several hours. Some tasks can be done individually or at home, such as sewing. Some tasks, like flower arranging, can be rotated among committee members throughout the season.

Term of Service
There is no restriction to the term of service at this time. The parish is in need of more volunteers to assist in this important and rewarding area of ministry.
