Parish Liturgy Committee

The Parish Liturgy Committee meets regularly to plan and coordinate parish liturgical matters. The committee focus on the full range of the parish’s liturgical life, establishing parish liturgy policy, evaluating liturgies and the formation of good liturgy and worship in the church.

ENHANCING WORSHIP
Liturgy is at the heart of all parish life and Christ is the center. We are the body of Christ called to gather for worship, to cherish the traditions of our faith, to witness the Gospel, to minister to others and in the world.

Members of the parish Liturgy Committee, focus on the various aspects of good liturgy and its practical implementation. From their individual study and group exchange of information at meetings, they plan liturgical and spiritual events.


Lectors Ministry
Lectors are men and women who share God's Word with the members of our parish community at Mass. They proclaim the first and second readings during the liturgy of the Word. Lectors also assist at other liturgical services.

Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist
Extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist are men and women who distribute communion at Mass. They have a firm belief in and reverence for the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Their ministry facilitates reverent reception of communion, and a sense of community and hospitality among the assembly. Eucharistic ministers are active members of the parish community, as evidenced by their participation in some other area of parish life.

Altar Servers
Altar servers assist the priest at daily and weekend Masses, weddings, funerals, as well as other special liturgies. Spiritual enhancements and camps are organised annually.

Choirs
Church of St. Ignatius has various Adult Choirs, a Youth Choir and a Contemporary Music Ensemble that plays for special occasions.The choirs/ensemble offer variety and a special dimension to liturgical worship. Through ongoing practice, they lend their talents and efforts at weekend Masses.

Flower Ladies
The Flower Ladies is a group of committed and creative people, who attend to the worship space of our parish.They prepare the liturgical environment for the various seasons and feasts of the Church year. Their work with liturgical colors, fabric, flowers, and other artistic media flows from the themes established by the liturgy committee.

Sacristy Assistants
The sacristy assistants help the Sacristan on weekends in preparing the worship area for Mass.

Hospitality Ministry
Our greeters and ushers are the first people one meets upon entering St. Ignatius church. They are our “first impression” - they offer the smile and hand of welcome we want to give not only to newcomers but to each other as a parish. The greeters do just that - greet everyone as they enter church. The ushers help with seating, take up the collection, assist the flow of communion, and hand out the bulletin after Mass.


Traffic Assistants
Our traffic assistants have the essential task of minimising parking problems in the church carparks and directing traffic to alternative car parks on feast days and other special events.
Their focus is to provide traffic control and ease congestion within the carparks of the church premises.
