THE MINISTRY COMMISSION
The purpose of the OLA Ministry Commission is to promote a mentality of parish stewardship with the goal of fostering a sense of belonging to and “ownership” of our parish by all parishioners; to welcome all parishioners and potential parishioners; to lead all parishioners into active participation in the life of the parish; to promote and support existing parish ministries; and to foster the creation of new ministries as needed.
Each member is a part of a subcommittee with a specific focus that enhances the life and ministries of our parish.
