The Worship Commission, and its Committees, promotes and strengthens a program of continuing liturgical renewal. The Worship Commission also promotes and provides for programs of liturgical education, planning and evaluation. It oversees and makes recommendations to the Pastor in areas pertaining to liturgy and the customs and procedures at St. Kieran.
There are many opportunities for volunteers in the Worship of St. Kieran Parish …
Adoration Chapel– established at St. Kieran in 1997. The chapel is open Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to Midnight, and on Saturday and Sunday from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. All parishioners are invited and encouraged to commit to one hour per week to maintain the Chapel.
