Art & Environment Ministry

The purpose of the Art and Environment Ministry is to create an atmosphere within the liturgical space that invites and inspires the assembly to full and conscious participation in the paschal mystery in keeping with the changing seasons of the liturgical year.

We meet at intervals throughout the year to plan for the design, set up, removal, and storage of the décor in correlation with each liturgical season.  Art and environment work are often sporadic and seasonal, with most of it being centered around the Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter seasons. 

The ministry is always interested in recruiting creative people, such as artists, seamstresses, crafters, interior and floral designers, or those who just enjoy working together for our church.  There must be a willingness to be open to new ideas and to work on group projects.

The Art and Environment Ministry welcomes other interested parishioners to join us.  If you would like to volunteer your time and talent with us. Please contact Lore Nugent at (847) 582-2501 or Lnugent@churchofstmary.org
