Liturgy
At the core of our Parish is our
liturgy. Therefore, St Michael's needs to gather
people together to "re-member" what we are about! Jesus
Christ is the centre of it all. We need to remember Him in the way
He asked to be remembered. So we have LITURGY, the public worship of
the Church, the summit of which is the Eucharist or the Mass. We
like to think we do Liturgy well! St Michael's has a liturgy
committee which looks ahead to the Church's year and critiques each
season when it is over.

We have a sizeable number of trained Readers
who proclaim the Sacred Scriptures. Kathryn Schollum,
co-ordinates this group
It's said that "to sing is to pray twice",
so we have singing at all masses. We have a number of organists and
cantors who lead the music at the Sunday Masses at St
Michael's. There is also a group of young (and "young
at heart") musicians who lead the congregation at the Family
Mass on the 3rd Sunday of the month at 10.00am.

We have a number of Special Ministers
of Holy Communion who assist with Holy Communion. Ruth Miller
convenes these ministers.
Those who gather on Sunday are a mixture of
young and not-so-young. For the younger children we provide on
most Sundays a special Liturgy of the Word. They have their
own Bible readings and prayers and return to the fuller
assembly for the Eucharist part of the Mass. Once a month we
have what we call a "Family Mass".
