"The liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the church is directed; at the same time it is the fount from which all the Church's power flows."

We invite all to actively participate in the beautiful liturgies offered at Our Lady of Victory Parish at either of our two campuses: Our Lady of Victory Campus or St. Joseph's Monastery Campus! Our parishioners active participation in the liturgy adds a powerful component to the personal encounter with Jesus that we experience in the Sacraments. All are welcome to join one of our liturgical ministries!
For additional information about one of the ministries below, contact Katie Jenkins ([email protected]), Director of Liturgy and Music.

The Liturgy Committee meets once a month and convenes all the ministry heads of our liturgical ministries (EM's, Music, Lectors, Environment, Ushers, Greeters, Altar Servers, etc.) to discuss and plan our services and Masses during the liturgical seasons.

Greeters and Ushers assist in welcoming people as they come to Mass, direct people to come forward to receive communion, and take up the collections.

Music is an essential part of offering the finest praise we can to our God. Music Ministry includes cantors, instrumentalists, Children's Choir, Youth Choir, Victory Choir, and Celebration Choir. For more information about any of our groups, visit our MUSIC page.
