Family Liturgy - Opportunities to be involved and Activities 2018 - 2019
St. Rose of Lima celebrates its Family Mass each Sunday at 9:30am. The Family Liturgy Committee aims to provide our Family Mass with an environment where faith can be shared, developed, and renewed for all family members. Through our efforts, we hope to develop a true sense of community here in our parish.
Ways to Participate – An important part of attending Mass on a weekly basis is your active participation. If children are interested in exploring different ways that they can participate in the Mass, please consider these roles available at the St. Rose of Lima Family Mass:
* Youth Usher – Help with the offertory collection or offertory procession by coming to the back of the Church after the homily. If parents have any questions, feel free to see the Usher Leaders in the back of the Church before the Family Mass on any Sunday morning.
* Petition Reader – Younger school aged children are able to read petitions as part of the Prayer of the Faithful. Please see one of the Family Liturgy members handing out the Song Sheets before Mass for more information.
* Music – Join the FAMILY LITURGY YOUTH CHORALE (Grades 4 – 8 & High School Choir Leaders) or the YOUTH BELL CHOIR (Middle – High School) or JUNIOR BELL CHOIR (Elementary - Middle School) – For more information, feel free to visit in the choir loft or reach out to John Buckel, Director of Music & Organist (516-798-4992 x240, JohnB@SROLchurch.org).
