Liturgy
Our committee is all about fulfilling the greatest commandment: to love God and “worship Him pleasingly with reverence and godly fear” (Hebrews 12:28). Every baptized person shares in a spiritual priesthood, and we want to help students realize that sacred role by immersing them in the Church’s Tradition and liturgical life. This includes promoting pious devotions, sacramental discipline, and training lectors, chanters, as well as opportunities for men discerning priesthood to altar serve. We hope you’ll join our mission to draw souls to the Beauty of Christ’s Love in the Eucharist!
Music
I simply love to sing for fun, and the music committee allows me to use my voice to praise the Lord. In my first year at Newman, I was invited to sing with others in a very welcoming and kind community which inspired me to want to plan music for these events. I found great joy in experiencing the Lord speak to me through singing as a form of prayer. Music is a way we can internalize the meaning of His life for us and express our gratitude to him in return with the gifts He has given us! As Jesus offers himself for us, we offer our voices and talents to serve his ministry in anyway we can!
Please let me know if you or anyone else is interested in volunteering to sing at our events, such as the weekly Sunday 5 pm student mass and Thursday Night Mass & Adoration. I plan to celebrate the lovely and rich variety of music within the church, from hosting praise and worship music nights to incorporating traditional Latin and schola music at the masses. My overall goal is to bring people closer to Jesus through music, as He has done for me.
