We plan and coordinate the liturgical life of our parish. The liturgy is the public prayer and worship of our faith community, and the Sunday Eucharistic celebration of the Mass is the summit of our liturgical prayer. The Liturgy Committee consists of leaders and volunteers from the various liturgical ministries. Meetings are held on the 4th Thursday evening of each month. Those interested are always welcome. Please contact us with questions or comments.
Liturgical Music Ministry at Sts. Joachim and Ann Parish bears the mission, above all else, to lead the members of our worshipping assembly to "full, active and conscious participation" in the liturgical life of the parish. In this particular way, we support and advance the mission of the parish to be a worshiping family and we make every effort to reach out with sacred music to draw worshippers of all ages into prayer through the fullest possible experience of the rich and diverse repertoire of music in the Catholic tradition.
Liturgical Music Ministers at Sts. Joachim and Ann Parish serve as cantors, instrumentalists, accompanists, and choir members for Sunday Worship, for Seasons and Feasts, for Masses of Christian Burial and for celebrations of Baptism, Marriage, and other services.

We must preach the Gospel always, delivering the good news of Jesus Christ to all we encounter. Our Evangelization Ministries seek to do this both inside the Sts. Joachim and Ann Parish Community and outside. We reach out to those in need, assist those coming back to the Church and offer ourselves completly to Christ's saving mission.
For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. (James 2:26)
The Gospel calls us to serve others. This is what it is to be a Christian. This is how others must know us as Christians. Our Parish offers many opportunities to get involved in the life-saving work of serving others. Please explore the options and share your talents and time in the way that fits best.
