A multi-faceted ministry, it includes promoting divine worship and liturgical music as a vital factor to our prayer, in full accord with the directive of the Church; discovering art and architecture which help create good environments for worship and spirituality; and assisting preparation of good liturgical celebrations, with an eye to fostering faith in all those participating.
