I rejoice in the liturgical celebration of the Mass. God may be calling me to Worship Ministry.
Liturgy is the pinnacle of the Catholic experience, where we are nourished by Word and Eucharist, and then commissioned to further God’s reign of justice and compassion on earth. St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Community is committed to celebrating liturgies that welcome, inspire, and challenge all who gather. We seek to celebrate the rich beauty of our Catholic tradition. The Church needs you! Good liturgy depends on your spirit, participation, and service. We would be delighted if you would share your gifts as a liturgical minister.
