The purpose of the committee is to assist the pastor and clergy in planning and coordinating liturgical celebrations to ensure that they: 1) glorify God in the highest possible manner; 2) make use of all appropriate talents; and 3) include all who come to worship. Members are appointed by the parochial vicar. For more information, please contact Joan Fitzpatrick at 215.343.0315 or jfitzaff@verizon.net.
